Sorry, I should have written a proper description of what I meant.

Add to i2c_board_info the following
struct resource *resource;

which is defined in ioport.h

I thought this actually allowed for gpio's but right now can't figure out how
to handle them.  What it definitely does handle cleanly is devices with multiple
irq's.

You basically get to query for resources by name so can pass lots of 'platform data'
type stuff without having to define a specific structure for passing it in.

Cool. I'd kind of assumed they moved out when i2c/chips went away, but never
actually checked!
