Details

The i2c driver "i2c-stub" is missing in (at least) 5.6.4-arch1-1. Judging from http://www.amongbytes.com/post/20190208-i2c-stub/ it used to be there "last year". i2c-tools are also still available and require this driver module (at lest for i2c-stub-from-dump).
This task depends upon

Looking back as far as linux 4.0-1 [1] CONFIG_I2C_STUB has not been enabled.

Well, I think it should be enabled. Most distros have it, it consumes neglectable space, and ---as mentioned--- i2c-tools do not fully make sense without it.
