Re-add the flags field to the i2c_adapter structure so we can add a new
flag I2C_ADAPTER_SKIP_PROBE. When an adapter sets this flag, the bus
will never be probed by any i2c client driver, even if forced addresses
are listed. Adapters that set this flag will need to use the
i2c_probe_device function to attach new clients.
