The following series implements standard linux module aliasing for i2c modules
It then converts the mpc i2c driver from being a platform driver to an open
firmware one. I2C device names are picked up from the device tree. Module
aliasing is used to translate from device tree names into to linux kernel
names. Several i2c drivers are updated to use the new aliasing. 

May I ask why you want to modify the i2c layer instead of keeping the
OF->i2c driver mapping in PPC code? It seems simpler to keep it in the
PPC-specific code, since otherwise you might end up with confused i2c
driver writers that make up their own OF names without knowing for sure
that's what will be used. No?

I recently posted (and asked Paulus to pull) a patch where I consolidate
the fsl_soc mapping code so I can also use that on pasemi, and modified
the pasemi platform code to setup the board_info from the device tree
accordingly.

Finally, whitespace is broken in several of your patches.
