The probe method used by i2c_new_probed_device() may not be suitable
for all cases. Let the caller provide its own, optional probe
function.

The sysfs path to i2c adapters has changed recently, update the
documentation to reflect that change.

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.

On popular demand, here comes some documentation about how to
instantiate i2c devices in the new (standard) i2c device driver
binding model.
I have also clarified how the class bitfield lets driver authors
control which buses are probed in the auto-detect case, and warned
more loudly against the abuse of this method.
