Thanks.

I should go back and check the other trees, if this field isn't required by the 
i2c sub-system then I can remove it from a number of drivers. Of course, this 
tree is fairly old and it may have already been done in the 23885 / cx88 / 
au0828 tree's by the other devs. I'll look into this.

Regardless, I'll generate the i2c patch.

I also have another 2.6.31 related patch stacked up, once mkrufky's tree is also 
merged. I'll issue both of these for merge later today.

Thanks again,
