This specific instance of i2c is for DDC; even the AST manual refers to
it as DDC. I don't think there's anything else we could do with those
registers. If we have other uses for i2c, we can easily add them in
separate code.

Thanks for reviewing the series. I think the new helper in patch 12
could be useful for loongson [1][2] as well.
Best regards
