Have you done a register-by-register comparison of the MPC5200B's I2C 
controller to verify that it's compatible with this driver? Download the 
MPC8349's datasheet from Freescale's website to compare. As I mentioned 
before, I have no idea if it is or not.

On the one hand, chip companies tend to re-use control blocks across 
multiple product lines, but on the other, the MPC5200-based boards in 
the U-boot tree use the driver in cpu/mpc5xxx. If the registers don't 
match, the fsl_i2c.c driver won't work.

If the driver is compatible, make sure you have the right CONFIGs in 
your header file (CONFIG_HARD_I2C, CONFIG_FSL_I2C etc.), then debug 
using the best tools for the job (my preferred order: printf, 
oscilloscope, BDI-2000/gdb).

If the driver isn't compatible, you can do the U-boot community a 
service by updating the cpu/mpc5xxx/i2c.c driver to handle multiple buses.
