+ Note:
+ This is a stand-in for an option to enable I2C support. In fact this
+ simply enables building of the I2C directory for U-Boot. The actual
+ I2C feature is enabled by DM_I2C (for driver model) and
+ the #define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_LEGACY (for the legacy I2C stack).
+
+ So at present there is no need to ever disable this option.
+
+ Eventually it will:
+
+ Enable support for the I2C (Inter-Integrated Circuit) bus in U-Boot.
+ I2C works with a clock and data line which can be driven by a
+ one or more masters or slaves. It is a fairly complex bus but is
+ widely used as it only needs two lines for communication. Speeds of
+ 400kbps are typical but up to 3.4Mbps is supported by some
+ hardware. Enable this option to build the drivers in drivers/i2c as
+ part of a U-Boot build.
