[U-Boot-Users] PATCH: Add command support for second I2Ccontroller

Ben,

Yes and no, yes- if the driver has multiple busses to support, and no-
if they don't have multiple busses to support.

For controllers allowing me to switch between standard/full speed/HS
mode or standard/fullspeed: Two commands to run 
Versus:
For controllers having a single speed:
One command..

Interesting call.. Being biased towards my platform I'd suggest merged
code.. but I leave it to the common wisdom to decide :)

Don't know if a parallel cmd tree is required, as far as I see, it is an
additional command to extend the reach of i2c driver, and since the
changes wont affect other drivers, I hope it can be patched in to the
mainline tree..
