[U-Boot] Supporting SCCB protocol

So SCCB is really only another name for I2C or are there differences in
the protocol?

If the first holds, then the infrastructure is already thereand you
should be able to use the i2c commands.  If the latter then you really
shoudl come up with your own "sccb" driver.  Probably basing it on
drivers.i2c/soft_i2c.c would be a good idea.

This should be discoverable by reading the manuals of the sensor.  If
this is at all like I2C, then it should definitely answer when its clock
and data pins are driven by I2C.  Did you check with an oscilloscope
that you really are talking to the chip?
