This is the cause of the trouble:

[    3.042320] i915 GPIOB: SDA stuck high!
[    3.045553] i915 GPIOA: SDA stuck low!
[    3.045625] i915 GPIOC: SDA stuck high!
[    3.049540] i915 GPIOD: SDA stuck low!
[    3.049612] i915 GPIOE: SDA stuck high!
[    3.049694] i915 GPIOF: SDA stuck high!

First time I've ever seen that, though that is maybe because it is in a
non-default debugging path.

However, failing the i2c bitbanging adapter being created, we would be
using the GMBUS interface. That appears to be failing as well. (Not too
surprising since it uses the same ports internally.)

Not sure how to proceed, maybe someone else has a better idea?
