Hmm... I don;t understand why we must rework all I2C Soft implementations.
Just boards, who must/want call functions instead of direct using
the I2C_XXX macros, can use this patch ... existing boards are
work as they are ... but as we discussed this, this patch is
not a need, because we can do this functionality also at the
moment (of course with this unlovley include in the config file)
If this is in future a no go (as Jean-Christophe suggested for the
Kconfig support), we can then maybe switch to this proposal ...

Hmm... also I don;t want to do this with the "multibus/multiadapter"
rework, because this rework is for themselve a big change, which
where I wouldn;t add one more big change ... so we maybe lost control,
why things no longer work ...

bye
Heiko
