For  at91sam9x5ek I had to use at91bootstrap since there is first
stage loader in Barebox for it. I don't know about 9263, but I trust
Jean-Christophe to be correct on this one.

Not sure what the situation on 9263 is, but FWIW, kernel DT file from
the kernel for 9x5ek secifies I2C0 as GPIO bitbanged on, and I believe
I had it working so hopefully it would be just a DT related change
that you'd need to do.
