9a94241afc i2c: Add support for custom probe function
The probe method used by i2c_new_probed_device() may not be suitable
for all cases. Let the caller provide its own, optional probe
function.

99cd8e2587 i2c: Add a sysfs interface to instantiate devices
Add a sysfs interface to instantiate and delete I2C devices. This is
primarily a replacement of the force_* module parameters implemented
by some i2c drivers. These module parameters were implemented
internally by the I2C_CLIENT_INSMOD* macros, which don't scale well.

This can also be used when developing a driver on a self-soldered
board which doesn't yet have proper I2C device declaration at the
platform level, and presumably for various debugging situations.

764c16918f i2c: Document the different ways to instantiate i2c devices
On popular demand, here comes some documentation about how to
instantiate i2c devices in the new (standard) i2c device driver
binding model.

I have also clarified how the class bitfield lets driver authors
control which buses are probed in the auto-detect case, and warned
more loudly against the abuse of this method.
