Thanks John for the reply.

Here is the screenshot of the BIOS ( http://postimg.org/image/p2quw3weh/ )
for the LPSS 2 Configuration. I checked it and can see that the LPSS I2C
are enabled. I'm using Ubuntu 14.04 (ubuntu-14.04.1-desktop-amd64.iso)
64bit version

Let me know what to check next ?

Appreciate your help.

Cheers
