Hi all, Here comes the first part of a large patch series which aims at dropping the generic i2c chip driver module parameters that were inherited from the lm-sensors project: probe, ignore, force and force_<type>. The same functionality is much better handled in a centralized way than replicated across a hundred drivers, and the recent changes to the binding model make it possible. Actually, the replacement interface is already implemented: these are the sysfs new_device and delete_device entries which are now created in each i2c adapter directory. It might need some tweaking in the future, but the core functionality is there already. The second part will require changes to individual drivers. For historical reasons, affected are mostly hwmon drivers: 44 out of the 49 i2c-based hwmon drivers are affected, and only a few other drivers are affected outside of the hwmon subsystem. Some statistics on these drivers: * Removes 15 lines of source code per driver on average. * Removes 1.4 kB of binary module per driver on average (-7.7%). The third part will happen later, when all individual drivers are updated. These are interface cleanups which must be synchronized across all affected drivers, so it's quite a pain to handle. I'll keep them in my local tree for now, and push them upstream once all the rest is there already. In the end, this is 140 lines removed from <linux/i2c.h> (-19%).
