Yes, README_libi2c is very thorough; there were several times that, upon 
re-reading it, I understood things even better...

Yes - the reasons being explained in earlier posting by Thomas Doerfler 
and, of course, the README_libi2c.

Sorry, can't help you here, but you do want to be fairly current.  The 
libi2c SPI support has matured somewhat since I started (around 4.8), 
and if you want to use the spi-sd-card driver, you'll need to make sure 
you're based on at least 4.9 libi2c.  In particular, you'll want to 
support the idle_char field of the transfer parameters structure 
rtems_libi2c_tfr_mode_t.  See my latest posts regarding "Card Specific 
Data".

FWIW - I started with the powerpc/mpc5566evb SPI driver, as Sebastian 
suggested - I think you know the thread...

Take care,

P.S. Feel free to ask questions - it's still pretty fresh in my mind...
