  Support the I2C lock mechanism, otherwise there could be unexpected
- behavior when the i2c driver is accessed by several entities like the
- linux driver, ATF driver and UEFI driver.
+ behavior when an i2c bus is accessed by several entities like the linux
+ driver, ATF driver and UEFI driver. Replace ioremap_cache with ioremap
+ since it is deprecated in later kernels.
  
  [Fix]
  
  * Support lock and unlock
  * replace ioremap_nocache with ioremap
  
  [Test Case]
  
  * Make sure the i2c-mlxbf.c driver is loaded and /dev/i2c-1 is created
  * check that ipmitool from the BF->BMC and from the BMC->BF work (this only 
applies on boards with a BMC of course)
  
  [Regression Potential]
  
  Any of the test cases above could be impacted due to these changes.
