I have just tried enabling I2C on a Sequoia board (kernel is DENX 2.6.26) and doing that appears to corrupt the u-boot / kernel communications.
Prior to turning on I2C, I see the ethernet mac and kernel command line correctly passed, but once I turn on I2C, the ethernet mac becomes 0 and the kernel command line is missing many parameters. I'll paste in a good log, then a bad one. The only configuration difference is that the bad one has CONFIG_I2C_CHARDEV=y and CONFIG_I2C_IBM_IIC=y in the configuration. I'll start digging into it, but if anyone has any experience or ideas regarding I2C on PPC440, I'd appreciate your thoughts on this.
