We _already_ expose it to userland, via the generic PMU
interface. And *please* don't add an easier-to-use userland
interface to the PMU IIC bus; it's too easy to lock it up /
cause other bad interactions, so if userland needs any more,
a proper driver should be written. We have enough rope
already :-)
The same applies to the KL and the UNI-N IIC busses.
Both of them are available to userland via normal i2c layer in
linux, but I'd rather avoid having people play with "generic"
drivers like lm_sensors in there indeed...
