Extends the driver to get properties from device tree. Also extend the
kirkwood DT support to supply the needed properties.

This is more a reminder than a real remark, but the driver here should not

I2C controllers for instance.

Yes, i don't understand this code. It looks impossible to use it using
platform_data with more than one controller. Any idea why its like
this? I didn't want to change the behavior because i don't understand
why its like this.

No idea, we just stumbled over this with a colleague the other day, and just 
removing the check made our second I2C controller work, so I don't see any 
reason why there is such a limitation. That said, this is for a subsequent 
patch.

However, it should be possible to instantiate multiple I2C controllers
using DT. However, i've only tested it with one.
