eefcd75e72 i2c: Documentation update
Make the documentation on how to write and port i2c drivers more in
line with the current state of things:
* i2c-isa is deprecated and soon gone, so stop advertising it.
* Drop many sensors-specific references. Most of them were outdated
  anyway.
* Update the example code to reflect the recent and not-so-recent
  API and coding style preference changes.
* Simplify the example init and cleanup functions.

This should make things less complex to understand for newcomers.

f37dd80ac2 i2c: Add driver suspend/resume/shutdown support
Driver model updates for the I2C core:

 - Add new suspend(), resume(), and shutdown() methods.  Use them in the
   standard driver model style; document them.

 - Minor doc updates to highlight zero-initialized fields in drivers, and
   the driver model accessors for "clientdata".

If any i2c drivers were previously using the old suspend/resume calls
in "struct driver", they were getting warning messages ... and will
now no longer work.  Other than that, this patch changes no behaviors;
and it lets I2C drivers use conventional PM and shutdown support.

cf02df7702 [PATCH] i2c: Rework client usage count, 3 of 3
Do not limit the usage count of i2c clients to 1. In other words,
change the client usage count behavior from the old I2C_CLIENT_ALLOW_USE
to the old I2C_CLIENT_ALLOW_MULTIPLE_USE. The rationale is that no
driver actually needs the limiting behavior, and the unlimiting
behavior is slightly easier to implement.

Update the documentation to reflect this change.

8a9947552d [PATCH] i2c: Drop i2c_driver.flags, 2 of 3
Just about every i2c chip driver sets the I2C_DF_NOTIFY flag, so we
can simply make it the default and drop the flag. If any driver really
doesn't want to be notified when i2c adapters are added, that driver
can simply omit to set .attach_adapter. This approach is also more
robust as it prevents accidental NULL pointer dereferences.

2445eb62e9 [PATCH] i2c: Documentation update
Update the i2c documentation: kzalloc should be used instead of
kmalloc.

I also fixed a couple other things nearby in writing-clients, as several
past changes had never been reported there.

4c9337da37 [PATCH] I2C: Centralize 24RF08 corruption prevention
The 24RF08 corruption would better be prevented at i2c-core level than
at chip driver level, for several reasons:
* The second quick write should happen as soon as possible after the
  first one, so as to limit the risk that another command is issued on
  the bus inbetween, causing the corruption.
* As a matter of fact, the protection code at driver level was reworked
  at least three times already, which proves how hard it is to get it
  right there, while it's straightforward at i2c-core level.
* It's easy to add a new driver that would need the protection, and
  forget to add it. This did happen already.
* As additional probing addresses can be passed to most i2c chip drivers
  as module parameters, virtually every i2c chip driver would need the
  protection if we want to be really safe.
* Why duplicate code when we can easily avoid it?

303760b44a [PATCH] hwmon: hwmon vs i2c, second round (07/11)
The only part left in i2c-sensor is the VRM/VRD/VID handling code.
This is in no way related to i2c, so it doesn't belong there. Move
the code to hwmon, where it belongs.

Note that not all hardware monitoring drivers do VRM/VRD/VID
operations, so less drivers depend on hwmon-vid than there were
depending on i2c-sensor.

f4b5026120 [PATCH] hwmon: hwmon vs i2c, second round (06/11)
The only thing left in i2c-sensor.h are module parameter definition
macros. It's only an extension of what i2c.h offers, and this extension
is not sensors-specific. As a matter of fact, a few non-sensors drivers
use them. So we better merge them in i2c.h, and get rid of i2c-sensor.h
altogether.

the same data structure, so we can have everyone call i2c_probe.

7bef559455 [PATCH] I2C: refactor message in i2c_detach_client
We could refactor the error message 34 different i2c drivers print if
i2c_detach_client() fails in this function itself. Saves quite a few
lines of code. Documentation is updated to reflect that change.

Note that this patch should be applied after Rudolf Marek's w83792d
patches.

5071860aba [PATCH] I2C: Separate non-i2c hwmon drivers from i2c-core (7/9)
Kill normal_isa in header files, documentation and all chip drivers, as
it is no more used.

normal_i2c could be renamed to normal, but I decided not to do so at the
moment, so as to limit the number of changes. This might be done later
as part of the i2c_probe/i2c_detect merge.

1da177e4c3 Linux-2.6.12-rc2
Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
