This is still present in 4.2. I have also been waiting for this since July. It builds and works without problems in any debian kernel I tried since July if it is enabled in the config. Is there a particular reason why this is not included? This is fairly common consumer hardware.
Since a lot of people are stuck with this, here is 4.2.5 with i2c enabled: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B3uTFOmcBwRQNzg3MzJzN3JCNkU/view?usp=sharing The link is going to die sooner or later, hopefully not before this is fixed. I would send a patch, but I guess the change is too trivial for a patch to be helpful? Best regards, Florian
