If you say yes to this option, support will be included for the
Voodoo 3 I2C interface.
Voodoo 3 I2C interface. This driver is deprecated and you should
use the tdfxfb driver instead, which additionally provides
framebuffer support.

This driver can also be built as a module. If so, the module
will be called i2c-voodoo3.
