The OMAP I2C driver has a relation to pinctrl-single driver. As result,
its probe will be deferred during system boot until late init time,
because the pinctrl-single is initizalized as moudle/device init time.
This, in turn, will delay initialization of all I2C devices (like mfd,
I2C regulators and etc.) and cause boot delay (more over, it can broken
initialization of drivers which are not ready to use deferred probe
mechanism yet, for example DSS).

There are no sense to keep OMAP I2C initialization on subsys init layer
any more, hence shift it to module/device layer where the i2c <-->
pinctrl-single dependency is resolved in drivers/Makefile now.

Testing this patch with PATCH 1/2, the twl_rtc driver fails to correctly
initialize on OMAP3:

         twl_rtc rtc.22: hctosys: invalid date/time

instead of the expected result:

          twl_rtc rtc.22: setting system clock to 2000-01-01 00:00:00 UTC (946684800)

so something is still not right for the init sequence.
