Well I can't find any file named i2c-io-gumstix.h in the source code
repository, and I can't find any function name InitI2cIO.

I tried:

cd robostix
grep -r -i InitI2cIO *

So I think you must have copied one of my files and modified it (which
is perhaps why my name is in it).

Yeah - I think it should allow both for multiple descriptors and
possibly multiple addresses per descriptor. I need to take a closer
look at the i2c-dev driver.
