Hello Chris,

I would also prefer that the I2C is initialized during BSP init. But
note that this opens the same discussion we had with Joel when I
suggested the FDT support as a project: It links in the Support for
every BSP. I don't really think it hurts for a small driver like I2C on
a big target like BBB but we should make sure that everyone is OK with that.

What might could be a problem: Is there something in the initialization
that might is application specific? The still bad solution for pin
config for example? (@Vijay: Bad because it's hard coded in I2C driver
and not due to the double init.)

Best regards

Christian
