Class based instantiation can cause huge delays when booting. This
mechanism was used when it was not possible to describe slaves on I2C
busses. We now have other mechanisms, so most embedded I2C will not need
classes and it was explicitly not recommended to use them. Add a
deprecation warning for drivers who want to disable class based in the
near future to gain boot-up time, so users relying on this technique can
switch to something better. They really should.

No reactions on this, pity. Deferring.

Sorry, for delayed reply - I've had problems with my e-mail.

I've tested this patch on our TI K3.4 product kernel with additional change below:

It works fine, in general - see my minor comment inline.

Also tested on Linux master - OMAP4 SDP board.
