Hi, This series is a better approach to fix the i2c bus hang on A0 version of the Armada XP SoCs. It occurred on the early release of the OpenBlocks AX3-4 boards. Indeed the first variants of Armada XP SoCs (A0 stepping) have issues related to the i2c controller which prevent to use the offload mechanism and lead to a kernel hang during boot. The first patch add a mean to detect the SoCs version at run-time and the second one use this feature in the driver. These 2 patches should be applied on 3.13-rc and on stable kernel 3.12 as it fixes a regression introduce by the commit 930ab3d403ae "i2c: mv64xxx: Add I2C Transaction Generator support". The first patch could be latter be extend to also be used with dove, kirkwood, orion5x and mv78x00 when there will be merged in mvebu.
