Merge branch 'i2c-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jdelvare/staging
Pull i2c updates from Jean Delvare:
"Most visible changes are the SMBus multiplexing support added to the
i2c-i801 driver, as well as support for the VIA VX900."
* 'i2c-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jdelvare/staging:
i2c-piix4: Fix build failure
i2c: Correct struct i2c_driver doc about detection
i2c-i801: Let i2c-mux-gpio find the GPIO chip
i2c-mux-gpio: Update documentation
i2c-mux-gpio: Add support for dynamically allocated GPIO pins
i2c-mux-gpio: Use devm_kzalloc instead of kzalloc
i2c-i801: Support SMBus multiplexing on Asus Z8 series
i2c-viapro: Add VIA VX900 device ID
i2c-parport: i2c_parport_irq can be static
