[Arm-dev] Gigabyte MP30-AR0

Gordan, thanks for the correction. It should be i2c-tools.

MAILBOX I2C actually requires 2 components: i2c-xgene-slimpro (should
already be in 4.2)
and xgene-slimpro-mailbox (upstream, but only in linux-next).

I think this should be i2c-tools, not i2-tools.

I'm going to hazard a guess that MAILBOX I2C support isn't in the
mainline 4.4.x branch. Has it been pushed upstream?
