I2C_DEVNAME and i2c_clientname were introduced in 2.5.68 [1] to help
media/video driver authors who wanted their code to be compatible with
both Linux 2.4 and 2.6. The cause of the incompatibility has gone since
[2], so I think we can get rid of them, as they tend to make the code
harder to read and longer to preprocess/compile for no more benefit.
I'd hope nobody seriously attempts to keep media/video driver compatible
across Linux trees anymore, BTW.

There are no more users of i2c_algorithm.id, so we can finally drop
this structure member.

The name member of the i2c_algorithm is never used, although all
drivers conscientiously fill it. We can drop it completely, this
structure doesn't need to have a name.

The only thing left in i2c-sensor.h are module parameter definition
macros. It's only an extension of what i2c.h offers, and this extension
is not sensors-specific. As a matter of fact, a few non-sensors drivers
use them. So we better merge them in i2c.h, and get rid of i2c-sensor.h
altogether.

Add support for kind-forced addresses to i2c_probe, like i2c_detect
has for (essentially) hardware monitoring drivers.
Note that this change will slightly increase the size of the drivers
using I2C_CLIENT_INSMOD, with no immediate benefit. This is a
requirement if we want to merge i2c_probe and i2c_detect though, and
seems a reasonable price to pay in comparison with the previous
cleanups which saved much more than that (such as the i2c-isa cleanup
or the i2c address ranges removal.)

We could inline i2c_adapter_id, as it is really, really short. Doing
so saves a few bytes both in i2c-core and in the drivers using this
function.

Kill normal_isa in header files, documentation and all chip drivers, as
it is no more used.
normal_i2c could be renamed to normal, but I decided not to do so at the
moment, so as to limit the number of changes. This might be done later
as part of the i2c_probe/i2c_detect merge.

Some months ago, you killed the address ranges mechanism from all
sensors i2c chip drivers (both the module parameters and the in-code
address lists). I think it was a very good move, as the ranges can
easily be replaced by individual addresses, and this allowed for
significant cleanups in the i2c core (let alone the impressive size
shrink for all these drivers).
Unfortunately you did not do the same for non-sensors i2c chip drivers.
These need the address ranges even less, so we could get rid of the
ranges here as well for another significant i2c core cleanup. Here comes
a patch which does just that. Since the process is exactly the same as
what you did for the other drivers set already, I did not split this one
in parts.
A documentation update is included.
The change saves 308 bytes in the i2c core, and an average 1382 bytes
for chip drivers which use I2C_CLIENT_INSMOD, 126 bytes for those which
do not.
This change is required if we want to merge the sensors and non-sensors
i2c code (and we want to do this).

===================================================================
Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
