I'm working on the symbols now (since it gets tricky). The first example I pulled out was Hummingbird_A31 which does have legacy I2C and does not set DM_I2C, which is what set me down the more worrying path. If you can confirm that no, really, it's just SPL that's not using DM_I2C that's OK enough for now, we can sort out what the best but probably still unideal solution is long term for SPL. -- Tom
