Well, what exactly is CONFIG_I2C_MXC supposed to mean? Sorry for
asking, but I cannot find it documented anywhere (hint! hint! This
needs to be fixed!). I tend to believe that in it's current form it's
redundant, meaning that we have both CONFIG_CMD_I2C and CONFIG_MX31.

Depending on the intended meaning of CONFIG_I2C_MXC there could also
be someone who wants to use soft-I2C on that processors.

Me too.

But then, I definitely want to keep the Makefiles simple and clean,
too.
