Fix a NULL pointer dereference that happened when calling
i2c_new_probed_device on one of the addresses for which we use byte
reads instead of quick write for detection purpose (that is: 0x30-0x37
and 0x50-0x5f).

Remove the old driver_name/type scheme for i2c driver matching. Only the
standard aliasing model will be used from now on.

Signed-off-by: Jean Delvare <khali@linux-fr.org>

As the old driver_name/type matching scheme is going away soon, change
the dummy device mechanism to use the new matching scheme.

This has the downside that dummy i2c clients can no longer choose
their name, they'll all appear as "dummy" in sysfs and in log
messages. I don't think it is a problem in practice though, as there
is little reason to use these i2c clients to log messages.

Based on earlier work by Jon Smirl and Jochen Friedrich.

This patch allows new-style i2c chip drivers to have alias names using
the official kernel aliasing system and MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE(). At this
point, the old i2c driver binding scheme (driver_name/type) is still
supported.

Sometimes kernel-doc and xmlto conspire to create output that is invalid
and causes problems.  Until I know a real/better solution, change the
source code that causes this.

If anyone has better fixes or can just explain what is happening here,
that would be great.

Ensure that client->driver is set to NULL if the probe() returns an
error (this keeps client->driver and client->dev.driver in sync).

This adds a i2c_new_dummy() primitive to help work with devices
that consume multiple addresses, which include many I2C eeproms
and at least one RTC.

It is no longer required to hold adapter->clist_lock to call
i2c_check_addr.
