Usage of i2c_-Tools in Barebox

[Marcel Behlau]

Hi,

many thanks for your help. I activated the i2c devices in the device 
tree, the pinctrl is already done in the imx6q.dtsi, which is included. 
The used pins are identically with the used pins on the SBC. devinfo 
told me, that the driver "i2c-fsl" is loaded. After rebuild barebox, 
it's possible to probe the bus, but the command only answered with an 
timeout:

barebox at Phytec phyFLEX-i.MX6 Quad Carrier-Board:/ i2c_probe 1 83 83
probing i2c range 0x53 - 0x53 :
i2c2: <i2c_fsl_bus_busy> timeout waiting for I2C bus busy

I'm using barebox-2013.08.0, which is provided by the phytec-bsp.

Thanks in advance,

Marcel
