Not including one off designs in someone's lab. We will never have an
accurate number. ;)

So far; just the ones that want their "cape" detected in the default
image currently being shipped by CircuitCo. Otherwise the few that
I've seen without an eeprom, usually follow this default pinmux.

http://elinux.org/CircuitCo:Basic_Proto_Cape

Which includes that i2c bus enabled.

Either case if fine with me.  As who knows when the dtc "overlay" will
every truly make it mainline, as the capemgr was the only real kernel
user of the i2c/at24 eeprom information.
