OK, that fixed it with "device iic" added to the kernel config (which is
NOT in GENERIC)

Can we get that one-liner committed in -HEAD and "device iic" added to
GENERIC?  (There's no particular reason for it not to be there I don't
think.... without it the device nodes do not get set up and while the
device might be recognized getting to it is a bit of a problem!)
