[PATCH v2] ARM: dts: rockchip: use internal pull-up resistors on I2C busses

I'd be more inclined to have pulls disabled by default, it's more standard with what smaller
micros do, but I've no experience with these bigger cortex-a parts.  It's also the "least
surprise" path.  If you want to try and use the onboard pullups, you can specify that in your
board file, but for people deliberately selecting pullups for their timing and load expectations,
being required to take an extra step to turn off something seems unexpected.  

If you _want_ to be able to probe an i2c bus for devices added aftermarket, on a board that
didn't get i2c pull ups because no devices were planned, and you want to turn on the internal
pullups for that, I think that's something you need to do yourself, not making it a hard default
in the SoC dtsi file.

so, if it's off by default, you get this
                                         dtsi   dts
Board1, i2c periphs, designed pullups => off     -
board2, no peripsh, pulls in case     => off     -
board3, no periphs, forgot pulls, pray=> off    on

If you turn it on by default, sure, it causes no harm in most cases, but you're no longer getting
the values you expect, without having to turn off things that are not default anyway.

Sincerely,
Karl Palsson
