One of a series of I2C infrastructure updates to support enumeration using
the standard Linux driver model.
This patch updates probe() and associated hotplug/coldplug support, but
not remove(). Nothing yet _uses_ it to create I2C devices, so those
hotplug/coldplug mechanisms will be the only externally visible change.
This patch will be an overall NOP since the I2C stack doesn't yet create
clients/devices except as part of binding them to legacy drivers.
Some code is moved earlier in the source code, helping group more of the
per-device infrastructure in one place and simplifying handling per-device
attributes.
Terminology being adopted: "legacy drivers" create devices (i2c_client)
themselves, while "new style" ones follow the driver model (the i2c_client
is handed to the probe routine). It's an either/or thing; the two models
don't mix, and drivers that try mixing them won't even be registered.
