Alas, I was unable to make bit-banged I2C to work
even with this patch applied. As I mentioned above, it works in
Linux, but I'd like to be able to set time to my RTC from u-boot.
I have checked that pins are configured properly from status registers
(pull-ups are enabled, multi-drive mode is enabled (open drain), etc.).
I could read only zeroes from SDA line in u-boot, and using
oscilloscope, I see data on line. I can't find differencies
in setup with i2c-gpio from Linux. Any ideas?

Thanks a lot,
S.
