Hi,

Is i2c expected to work on Raspberry Pi Zero? I have FreeBSD running
just fine on it from FreeBSD-12.0-RELEASE-arm-armv6-RPI-B.img, but
there is no mention of iic at boot (dmesg), and no /dev/iic* - while
on a Pi B with
FreeBSD-11.0-STABLE-arm-armv6-RPI-B-20170105-r311441.img (sorry about
the different versions) I see:

iichb0: <BCM2708/2835 BSC controller> mem 0x205000-0x20501f on simplebus0
iicbus0: <OFW I2C bus> on iichb0
iic0: <I2C generic I/O> on iicbus0
iichb1: <BCM2708/2835 BSC controller> mem 0x804000-0x80401f on simplebus0
iicbus1: <OFW I2C bus> on iichb1
iic1: <I2C generic I/O> on iicbus1

Also "What works" on
https://wiki.freebsd.org/FreeBSD/arm/Raspberry%20Pi has just an
ominous question mark for i2c on Zero...:-)

Any hints for debugging/testing would be appreciated.

Thanks
