The first variants of Armada XP SoCs (A0 stepping) have issues related
to the i2c controller which prevent to use the offload mechanism and
lead to a kernel hang during boot.
The commit introduces a new the compatible string
marvell,mv78230-a0-i2c for the i2c controller.

- reg : Offset and length of the register set for the device
- compatible : Should be "marvell,mv64xxx-i2c" or "allwinner,sun4i-i2c"
- or "marvell,mv78230-i2c"
+ or "marvell,mv78230-i2c" or "marvell,mv78230-a0-i2c"
+ Note: Only use "marvell,mv78230-a0-i2c" for a very rare,
+ initial version of the SoC which had broken offload
+ support. Linux auto-detects this and sets it
+ appropriately.
- interrupts : The interrupt number
