Isn't there work by Pawel that adds support for more of the Versatile
platform? My quick searching finds at least:

    http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.drivers.i2c/10143
    http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.ports.arm.kernel/143523

I think the latter is merged already, but I may be wrong.
