The change stems from naming change in the ARM port to the IXP4xx. The
original code had various variables, macros, and functions named ixp425_, ixp42x_, 
and ixp4xx_. All these were cleaned up to be ixp4xx instead since the port works on 
all CPUs in that family. W/O these changes, the I2C driver will not build (actually,
it won't even appear as an options) once the ARM bits are pushed upstream.  You
can see the latst IXP4xx patch @

   ftp://source.mvista.com/pub/ds-patches/patch-2.6.4-ds1.gz

Option is to either apply this or to have a broken driver in the tree.
The IXP4xx code is not reverting to the mess it was in. :)
