Low priority thread holding the i2c bus mutex could block higher
priority threads to access the bus resulting in unacceptable
latencies. Change the mutex type to rt_mutex preventing priority
inversion.

Some user-space applications may be relying on i2c adapters showing up
as class devices in sysfs. Provide compatibility links for them for
the time being. We will remove them after a long transition period.

Kay says i2c adapters shouldn't be class devices but bus devices.
Convert them that way, using a device type.

Add a sysfs interface to instantiate and delete I2C devices. This is
primarily a replacement of the force_* module parameters implemented
by some i2c drivers. These module parameters were implemented
internally by the I2C_CLIENT_INSMOD* macros, which don't scale well.
This can also be used when developing a driver on a self-soldered
board which doesn't yet have proper I2C device declaration at the
platform level, and presumably for various debugging situations.

The i2c-core code tends to hold the core lock for longer than it
should. Limit locking to the necessary sections for both performance
and clarity. This is also a requirement to support I2C multiplexers in
the future.

We used to maintain our own per-adapter list of i2c clients, but this
is redundant with what the driver core does, and no longer needed.
Just drop the redundant list.

Now that i2c_attach_client is no longer exported, it doesn't need to
be a separate function. Merge it into its only user, i2c_new_device.

These methods were useful in the legacy binding model but no longer in
the new (standard) binding model. There are no users left so we can
drop them.

We don't need to give adapters a parent if they don't have one. The
driver core will put them in the virtual device directory and all will

While it isn't the way the standard device binding model works, it is
OK for new-style drivers to implement attach_adapter. It may help
convert the renaming legacy drivers to new style drivers faster.

Setting a default timeout value on a per-algo basis doesn't make any
sense. Move the default value setting to i2c-core. Individual adapter
drivers can specify a different (non-zero) value if they wish.
Also express the timeout value in a way which results in the same
duration regarless of the value of HZ.

This patch implements uevent suppress in kobject and removes it
from struct device, based on the following ideas:
1,Uevent sending should be one attribute of kobject, so suppressing it
in kobject layer is more natural than in device layer. By this way,
we can do it for other objects embedded with kobject.
2,It may save several bytes for each instance of struct device.(On my
omap3(32bit ARM) based box, can save 8bytes per device object)
This patch also introduces dev_set|get_uevent_suppress() helpers to
set and query uevent_suppress attribute in case to help kobject
as private part of struct device in future.

This patch is part of a larger patch series which will remove
the "char bus_id[20]" name string from struct device. The device
name is managed in the kobject anyway, and without any size
limitation, and just needlessly copied into "struct device".
To set and read the device name dev_name(dev) and dev_set_name(dev)
must be used. If your code uses static kobjects, which it shouldn't
do, "const char *init_name" can be used to statically provide the
name the registered device should have. At registration time, the
init_name field is cleared, to enforce the use of dev_name(dev) to
access the device name at a later time.
We need to get rid of all occurrences of bus_id in the entire tree
to be able to enable the new interface. Please apply this patch,
and possibly convert any remaining remaining occurrences of bus_id.
We want to submit a patch to -next, which will remove bus_id from
"struct device", to find the remaining pieces to convert, and finally
switch over to the new api, which will remove the 20 bytes array
and does no longer have a size limitation.
