Pull i2c new drivers from Wolfram Sang:
 "Here is a pull request from i2c hoping for the "new driver" rule.

  Originally, I wanted to send this request during the merge window, but
  code checkers with very recent additions complained, so a few fixups
  were needed.  So, some more time went by and I merged rc1 to get a
  stable base"

So the "new driver" rule is really about drivers that people absolutely
need for the kernel to work on new hardware, which is not so much the
case for i2c.  So I considered not pulling this, but eventually
relented.

Just for FYI: the whole (and only) point of "new drivers" is not that
new drivers cannot regress things (they can, and they have - by
triggering badly tested code on machines that never triggered that code
before), but because they can bring to life machines that otherwise
wouldn't be useful at all without the drivers.

So the new driver rule is for essential things that actual consumers
would care about, ie devices like networking or disk drivers that matter
to normal people (not server people - they run old kernels anyway, so
mainlining new drivers is irrelevant for them).
