The i2c-nomadik gateware is really a PrimeCell APB device. By hosting
the driver under the amba bus we can access it more easily, for
example using the generic pci-amba driver. The patch also fixes the
mach-ux500 users to register an AMBA device, not a platform device.

This will affect Lee Jones' device tree bindings for the same device.

You will need some add-on patch to the db8500 device tree moving this
over to the AMBA (PrimeCell) bus abstraction.

What does AMBA win us over the platform device here?
