I'm sure I don't.

To put the record straight - originally I suggested to use status 
"disabled" for mmc devices in .dtsi, before that the status property 
wasn't used in Renesas .dts(i) files, and that's when all I2C nodes were 
already present in .dtsi in enabled state.

I didn't count, but yes, it has been discussed and that's been fixed in v2 
of my i2c patches. Now that I've got comments to the ARM patches I can 
also update them with a correct compatibility string.
