I am not aware of a plan ...

Hmm... this would be a long list, as there are the following driver
which need a conversion:

obj-$(CONFIG_BFIN_TWI_I2C) += bfin-twi_i2c.o
obj-$(CONFIG_DRIVER_DAVINCI_I2C) += davinci_i2c.o
obj-$(CONFIG_DW_I2C) += designware_i2c.o
obj-$(CONFIG_I2C_MVTWSI) += mvtwsi.o
obj-$(CONFIG_I2C_MV) += mv_i2c.o
obj-$(CONFIG_I2C_MXS) += mxs_i2c.o
obj-$(CONFIG_PCA9564_I2C) += pca9564_i2c.o
obj-$(CONFIG_TSI108_I2C) += tsi108_i2c.o
obj-$(CONFIG_U8500_I2C) += u8500_i2c.o
obj-$(CONFIG_SH_SH7734_I2C) += sh_sh7734_i2c.o

Also some drivers in cpu dirs ... grep for HARD_I2C in u-boot
source (one Goal is to get rid of HARD_I2C).

./arch/powerpc/cpu/mpc8xx/i2c.c
./arch/powerpc/cpu/mpc8260/commproc.c
./arch/powerpc/cpu/mpc8260/i2c.c
./arch/powerpc/cpu/mpc5xxx/i2c.c
./arch/powerpc/cpu/mpc824x/drivers/i2c/i2c.c
./arch/powerpc/cpu/mpc512x/i2c.c

[...]

bye,
Heiko
