i2c: Convert the pcf8575 driver to a new-style i2c driver

Browse Source 
The new-style pcf8575 driver implements the optional detect() callback
to cover the use cases of the legacy driver.

Warning: users will now have to use the force module parameter to get
the driver to attach to their device. That's not a bad thing as these
devices can't be detected anyway.

Note that this doesn't change the fact that this driver is deprecated
in favor of gpio/pcf857x.

---------
There is no method known to detect whether a chip on a given I2C address is
a PCF8575 or whether it is any other I2C device. So there are two alternatives
to let the driver find the installed PCF8575 devices:
- Load this driver after any other I2C driver for I2C devices with addresses
in the range 0x20 .. 0x27.
- Pass the I2C bus and address of the installed PCF8575 devices explicitly to
the driver at load time via the probe=... or force=... parameters.
a PCF8575 or whether it is any other I2C device, so you have to pass the I2C
bus and address of the installed PCF8575 devices explicitly to the driver at
load time via the force=... parameter.
