There is sometimes a need for the ocores driver to add devices to the bus when 
installed.

i2c_register_board_info can not always be used, because the I2C devices are not 
known at an early state,
they could for instance be connected on a I2C bus on a PCI device which has the 
Open Cores IP.

i2c_new_device can not be used in all cases either since the resulting bus 
nummer might be unknown.

The solution is the pass a list of I2C devices in the platform data to the Open 
Cores driver. Is
useful for MFD drivers for instance.
