Huh... missed this EMail...

If this is needed, we should merge the multibus/multiadapter
approach finally to mainline, found here:

http://git.denx.de/?p=u-boot/u-boot-i2c.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/20130416_multibus_v2

Yeah, waiting for such a chance for some years ;-)

I am not happy to have boardspecific approaches here! Dirk, could
you give the above sources a try? I must admit that the sources
are just rebased without doing big tests on several plattforms ...
but the branch compiles clean for arm and powerpc. If it works
for you, we can try to bring it in the next merge window in mainline...

- steps to do (for you):
  - port the ppc4xx i2c driver to the new framework
    There is an older branch, where I did this for an older
    version of the multibus/multiadapter approach, see here:
    http://git.denx.de/?p=u-boot/u-boot-i2c.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/multibus_v2_20111112

    It gives you maybe an idea how to do this.

  - for adding a soft i2c driver you should do something like:

+#define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SOFT            /* I2C bit-banged */
+#define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SOFT_SPEED      Your speed
+#define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SOFT_SLAVE      Your slave addr

+#define I2C_TRISTATE   i2c_soft_tristate()
+#define I2C_READ       i2c_soft_read()
+#define I2C_ACTIVE     i2c_soft_delay()
+#define I2C_SCL(bit)   i2c_soft_scl(bit)
+#define I2C_SDA(bit)   i2c_soft_sda(bit)
+#define I2C_DELAY      i2c_soft_delay()
+#define I2C_INIT       i2c_soft_init()

and in your board code define the above functions:

+#if defined(CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SOFT)
+#include <i2c.h>
+
+void i2c_soft_init(void)
+{
+       printf("init: %d\n", I2C_ADAP_HWNR);
+}
+
+void i2c_soft_active(void)
+{
+       printf("active: %d\n", I2C_ADAP_HWNR);
+}
+
+void i2c_soft_tristate(void)
+{
+       printf("tristate: %d\n", I2C_ADAP_HWNR);
+}
+
+int i2c_soft_read(void)
+{
+       return 1;
+}
+
+void i2c_soft_sda(int bit)
+{
+       printf("sda: %d\n", I2C_ADAP_HWNR);
+}
+
+void i2c_soft_scl(int bit)
+{
+       printf("scl: %d\n", I2C_ADAP_HWNR);
+}
+
+void i2c_soft_delay(void)
+{
+       printf("delay: %d\n", I2C_ADAP_HWNR);
+}
+
+#endif

You can have more than one soft i2c adapter by defining
the defines I2C_SOFT_DECLARATIONS2, I2C_SOFT_DECLARATIONS3 ...
and switch between them by interpreting the I2C_ADAP_HWNR
in the above functions ...

bye,
Heiko
