The MPC8247 I2C controller is supported by the i2c-cpm driver, introduced in
2.6.27. It shouldn't be difficult to backport the driver to 2.6.24. Please
note that the driver only supports the powerpc architecture and won't work on
ppc kernels.
Alternatively, you could port the i2c-mpc8260 driver to 2.6.24.
Best regards,
