Which tarball, downloaded from which location?
# wget https://mirrors.edge.kernel.org/pub/software/utils/i2c-tools/i2c-tools-4.2.tar.xz
# tar -xf i2c-tools-4.2.tar.xz
# cd i2c-tools-4.2
# ls -g Makefile
-rw-r--r-- 1 users 1376 Sep 22 2020 Makefile
So the Makefile is definitely there. Module.mk files exist as well, in
different sub-directories, and they contain the actual build commands.
They are actually in Makefile format as well, but aren't
self-sufficient. The Makefile at the root of the project defines the
build settings and then glues all the individual Module.mk files
together in order to build the whole package.
Hope that helps,
