Hello,
with 2.6.27(-gentoo) the rtc (Ricoh 5c372) is no longer found on my
Linkstation HG. It seems, the i2c-mpc driver doesn't even find the I2C
controller.
Could this be related to commit
#0d1cde235874b00905bce23f659690d060ebf475 (powerpc/i2c: Convert i2c-mpc
into an of_platform driver,
http://kerneltrap.org/mailarchive/git-commits-head/2008/7/16/2522594/thread)?
What do I need to do, to make it work again?
The configs are virtually identical. The kernels are loaded with their
respective dtb files. The dtb and dts files are identical anyways.

This is a known regression, see, e.g., here:

waiting for someone to find time to fix it.
Thanks

Cheers. I found the thread but not the pertinent posts - the web mail
archive I googled into must have been lagging. Sorry for the
duplication.
