Dear Simon,

Is this a 100% binary compatible change? If not, should we not also increment XF_VERSION ?
If a board has move to driver model and doesn't use CONFIG_DM_I2C_COMPAT (and this should ideally not be used) then the I2C functions are not present. I tested the compatibility to a basic degree.
Maybe I'm misreading the code, but would an old standalone application image, compiled for the old jumptable format, really still run on a system with your patch applied? Only in this case we can leave the version unchanged.
Perhaps we should increment it anyway, given it is such a major code change?
It would not hurt, ideed.
OK I'll do that.
Regards, Simon
