    kernel: Add some i2c1 pin muxing testing
    
    i2cdetect -F never actually use the bus, but only probe the driver to
    know what it's capable of handling. Add an i2cdetect -r run to actually
    scan the bus and make sure the muxing is right.

+You can see that the {\em SMBus Quick Commands} are not available on
+this driver, yet \code{i2cdetect} uses them by default to scan the i2c
+bus. You can use \code{i2cdetect -r} to use the usual set of i2c
+commands, and by able to detect the devices on your bus.
+
+To test if everything works fine, run \code{i2cdetect -r 1}. This will
+scan the \code{i2c1} bus for devices. You should see a device at the
+address \code{0x52}. This is your nunchuk.
+
 If everything works as expected, commit your Device Tree changes. This
 will be required switch to another branch later:
