Some devices are designed and manufactured with some components having
multiple drop-in replacement options. These components are often
connected to the mainboard via ribbon cables, having the same signals
and pin assignments across all options. These may include the display
panel and touchscreen on laptops and tablets, and the trackpad on
laptops. Sometimes which component option is used in a particular device
can be detected by some firmware provided identifier, other times that
information is not available, and the kernel has to try to probe each
device.
This change attempts to make the "probe each device" case cleaner. The
current approach is to have all options added and enabled in the device
tree. The kernel would then bind each device and run each driver's probe
function. This works, but has been broken before due to the introduction
of asynchronous probing, causing multiple instances requesting "shared"
resources, such as pinmuxes, GPIO pins, interrupt lines, at the same
time, with only one instance succeeding. Work arounds for these include
moving the pinmux to the parent I2C controller, using GPIO hogs or
pinmux settings to keep the GPIO pins in some fixed configuration, and
requesting the interrupt line very late. Such configurations can be seen
on the MT8183 Krane Chromebook tablets, and the Qualcomm sc8280xp-based
Lenovo Thinkpad 13S.
Instead of this delicate dance between drivers and device tree quirks,
this change introduces a simple I2C component probe. function For a
given class of devices on the same I2C bus, it will go through all of
them, doing a simple I2C read transfer and see which one of them responds.
It will then enable the device that responds.
This requires some minor modifications in the existing device tree. The
status for all the device nodes for the component options must be set
to "failed-needs-probe". This makes it clear that some mechanism is
needed to enable one of them, and also prevents the prober and device
drivers running at the same time.

Changes since v2:
- New patch split out from "of: Introduce hardware prober driver"
- Addressed Rob's comments
- Move i2c prober to i2c subsystem
- Use of_node_is_available() to check if node is enabled.
- Use OF changeset API to update status property
- Addressed Andy's comments
- Probe function now accepts "struct device *dev" instead to reduce
line length and dereferences
- Move "ret = 0" to just before for_each_child_of_node(i2c_node, node)
