Ben,

Grant said he has merged the following solution:

... although it's not in linux-next yet.

If you do still want to go ahead with using of_property_read_u32, the
patch to do that will need a fixup to avoid the unsafe cast; let me know
if you want me to update the patch for that or not.

Related, here's the list of outstanding patches for i2c-tegra.c that I'm
aware of:

[PATCH] i2c: Tegra: Add of_match_table
http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-i2c/msg05898.html

[PATCH] i2c: tegra: add I2C_FUNC_SMBUS_EMUL to adapter functionality
http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-i2c/msg05396.html

[PATCH] i2c: tegra: fix possible race condition after tx
http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-i2c/msg06103.html

Hope this helps! Thanks.
