of/i2c: Fix module load order issue caused by of_i2c.c
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Commit 959e85f, "i2c: add OF-style registration and binding" caused a
module dependency loop where of_i2c.c calls functions in i2c-core, and
i2c-core calls of_i2c_register_devices() in of_i2c.  This means that
when i2c support is built as a module when CONFIG_OF is set, then
neither i2c_core nor of_i2c are able to be loaded.

This patch fixes the problem by moving the of_i2c_register_devices()
calls back into the device drivers.  Device drivers already
specifically request the core code to parse the device tree for
devices anyway by setting the of_node pointer, so it isn't a big
deal to also call the registration function.  The drivers just become
slightly more verbose.
