This patch set splits i2c-designware.c core and bus specific portions
in to support the Designware core being behind a PCI device.
The Intel Moorsetown and Medfield SOC's are supported in the PCI
portion of the driver.
We already have the i2c-intel-mid driver for Moorsetown and Medfield.
Why would we need another driver?
I was tasked with fixing a couple of bugs i2c-intel-mid.c and adding support for
another upcoming platform. While I was coming up to speed on the driver I
"discovered" the i2c-designware.c driver. After talking with AlanC and Shinya
it seemed like the right thing to do to merge the two drivers. The patch set
adds a parallel driver ATM moment until it get some good test. Once it gets
more test I plan on adding patches to remove i2c-intel-mid.c and update current
i2c-designware.c driver to use the merged driver.

Maybe we could delete those and use this instead.
I wish I put my foot down and asked them to re-used the dw one otherwise
we'll just end up with driver creep....
