Hi all,

Thanks for the info. I thought UML was no longer used with all the
virtualization solutions available, but apparently I was wrong.

My bet is that all I2C bus drivers do use I/O or memory mapped
operations directly or indirectly, except i2c-stub. So it would
probably make more sense, and be a less intrusive change, to move the
HAS_IOMEM dependency to drivers/i2c/busses, and move (logically or for
real) i2c-stub out of it.

Or are there really other I2C bus drivers which make sense to enable
under UML?

Are there other subsystems where the HAS_IOMEM dependency is at the
individual driver level?
