Also, beagleboard uses the omap i2c controller, correct ? I'll have to check
if regmap handles endianness conversion properly for controllers supporting
I2C_FUNC_I2C. If some other i2c controller is used, please let me know (or
sene me the output of i2cdetect -l). Recent kernels have a bug in regmap
which affects chips with 16-bit registers if I2C_FUNC_I2C is not supported.

Maybe I should get a beagleboard. The X15 isn't available yet, though. Do the
available boards (eg Rev C) use the same i2c controller ?

Thanks,
Guenter
