Client found at address 0x4c

This is where it stops for a few seconds.
i2cdump 0 0x4c w hangs in a way that i must cancle it with Ctrl-C and
afterwards i need a reboot to get correct dumps.

As i noted in an other mail the interface can be accessed via the pci
registers F3x1E80 (address) and F3x1EC0 (data).
Bit 3 of pci register F3x1E40 indicates that this way of access is
possible if unset (0b). But those addresses can not be accessed
via /proc/bus/pci atm.

works in detail, so that is a good situation to find out more about.
