Note that for this I2C-specific change, I will need acks from the I2C
maintainers to be able to include this in my tree.

For the aspeed changes, they don't really belong here, they belong in
the aspeed tree.  I see that you need them for the device to work
correctly, though.  I'll need acks from maintainers to include them.
