Well, to be honest I don't actually know (I've inherited the driver and I 
haven't figured out how the I2C drivers work), but here's how the i2c is 
initialised:

static struct i2c_pxa_platform_data xcep_i2c_platform_data  = {
        .class = I2C_CLASS_HWMON
};

...
        pxa_set_i2c_info(&xcep_i2c_platform_data);

This is called in the .init_machine method, and the target system is a 
PXA255.

However, after the error messages on startup, all the sensors seem to be 
detected and seem to be operating normally.
