Hallo Hans-Frider,

> 	o removed detail warnings about unsupported modes that are covered in a 
> general warning (unsupported transaction...) anyway
> 	o removed necessity of a definition of struct i2c_adapter
> 	o moved definition of struct i2c_algorithm, making forward declarations of 
> nforce2_access and nforce2_func unnecessary
> - improvements:
> 	o support MCP51 and MCP55 southbridges
> 	o advertise  I2C_FUNC_SMBUS_BLOCK_DATA, so that it really can be used

I'm sorry for overlooking this patch when you sent it back in December
2005. Now we happen to have a part of these changes already merged in
the i2c-nforce2 driver (in particular support for the MPC51 and MPC55.)
Would you be kind enough to respin your cleanups on top the i2c-nforce2
driver as it exists in recent -mm tree? (Or on top of Linus' latest +
http://khali.linux-fr.org/devel/i2c/linux-2.6/i2c-nforce2-add-mcp51-mcp55-support.patch,
at your option.)

Thanks,
