Yes, this driver suppors only Topcliff(Intel Atom E6xx series) now.

Most drivers for Topcliff have been accepted with "pch_" prefix.
Only SPI driver, like you indicates, have accepted as spi_topcliff_pch.c.
If you request, I can modify "pch_i2c.c" to "i2c-topcliff_pch.c".

No problem!
After reviewing by Intel(:CCed), we started posting to LKML and
we have already tested this patch on the EVA Board.

Tuhs, I want you to merge to this patch to 2.6.37 ASAP.

Thanks, Tomoya(OKI SEMICONDUCTOR CO., LTD.)
