I2C instability about beagleboard

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Note: There is an additional I2C issue #17

http://code.google.com/p/beagleboard/issues/detail?id=17

This should be independent of #17: #17 is about I2C2 timeouts with Beagle's
unconnected expansion header while this seems to be about broken I2C 
communication.

Currently, it is assumed that the following patches fix *kernel* issues:

http://www.pwsan.com/omap/read_write_twl4030_isrs_to_clear.patch

The second patch switches I2C1 speed from 2.6MHz down to 400KHz, too. It is 
currently
investigated if this is necessary.

Note: These patches are for *kernel*. *U-Boot* (V1) messages like

are assumed to be *compiler* related! CSL 2008Q1 results in above uboot I2C 
timeouts.
So use 2007Q3/Q1 for uboot (V1).
