The I2C timeout issue I could reproduce on my ES1.0 board. It's ES1.0
specific issue because I2C burst mode wasn't fuctional on it. Twl RTC
driver uses I2C burst mode and hence it times out. Other TWL I2C
module has no such issue.
The pull work-around we tried was not reliable hence it was dropped.

In short the TWL RTC driver won't function on ES1.0. Apart from that
rest of the I2C clients should work as usual.
