Jean Delvare 3760f73671 i2c: Convert most new-style drivers to use module aliasing
Based on earlier work by Jon Smirl and Jochen Friedrich.

Update most new-style i2c drivers to use standard module aliasing
instead of the old driver_name/type driver matching scheme. I've
left the video drivers apart (except for SoC camera drivers) as
they're a bit more diffcult to deal with, they'll have their own
patch later.

Jean Delvare d2653e9273 i2c: Add support for device alias names
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.

Guennadi Liakhovetski d72cbed0c4 gpiolib: i2c/spi drivers: handle rmmod better
Use the newly introduced owner field in struct gpio_chip to protect the
current (small) set of non-SOC GPIO drivers from being unloaded while any of
their GPIOs are in use.

David Brownell 15fae37d9f gpiolib: pcf857x i2c gpio expander support
This is a new-style I2C driver for most common 8 and 16 bit I2C based
"quasi-bidirectional" GPIO expanders: pcf8574 or pcf8575, and several
compatible models (mostly faster, supporting I2C at up to 1 MHz).

The driver exposes the GPIO signals using the platform-neutral GPIO
programming interface, so they are easily accessed by other kernel code.  The
lack of such a flexible kernel API has been a big factor in the proliferation
of board-specific drivers for these chips...  stuff that rarely makes it
upstream since it's so ugly.  This driver will let such boards use standard
calls.

Since it's a new-style driver, these devices must be configured as part of
board-specific init.  That eliminates the need for error-prone manual
configuration of module parameters, and makes compatibility with legacy
drivers (pcf8574.c, pc8575.c) for these chips easier (there's a clear
either/or disjunction).
