Pardon my ignorance, but is there any reason to call it "Blackfin TWI"
as opposed to just "Blackfin" since TWI and I2C mean the same thing?
It lends itself to some redundancies such as:

> + pr_info("I2C: Blackfin I2C TWI driver\n");

it reflects the hardware manual and all public Analog Devices
documentation ... the peripheral is always referred to as a "Two Wire
Interface that is fully compatible with the I2C standard" since using
the "I2C" term is not free
