I2c core supports defualt probing functionality for devices not registered through
dt/board files. If there are any client driver registered, i2c core will try to
check if there is any device present corresponding to the address supplied by
the client driver. If the device is actually present and not registered, core
will register it, else the device default probe will fail and we get a omap i2c controller
specific timeout messages.
For example, Using multi_v7_config on omap5-uevm, CONFIG_SENSORS_LM90 and CONFIG_ICS932S401
is the driver which is enabled and gets registered. I2c core tries to find a valid
corresponding device on each of the address supplied by registered driver,
but could not find anyone. Hence, keep dumping the controller timeout speciic message.

The patch tends to disable class based instantiation, default probing will not be attempted
by the i2c-core for omap i2c. Device will always get registered through device tree(dt case)
and board files(for non dt cases).

Tested i2c enumeration and data transfer(using i2c utilities) with linux-next master
on the following boards using omap2plus_defconfig:
* Omap3 beagle-Xm (for dt and non dt case)
* omap4 panda
* omap5-uevm
* Dra7xx
* Beaglebone white
* Beaglebone black
* am335x-evm
* AM43xx epos evm

Tested i2c enumeration with linux-next master(except omap5)
on the following boards using multi_v7_defconfig:
* Omap3 beagle-Xm (for dt and non dt case)
* omap4 panda
* omap5-uevm (tested on next-20140131 tag, where i2c problem can be seen) 
* Dra7xx
* Beaglebone white
* Beaglebone black
* am335x-evm
* AM43xx epos evm

Conflicts against commit 04eceb00e5f793013392ad8713c645a8132f648c
(i2c: i2c-omap: deprecate class based instantiation) in next-20140409

if you are dropping HWMON
adap->class = I2C_CLASS_HWMON | I2C_CLASS_DEPRECATED;
this might be a good time to explain why.

Also drop the following testing information down into diffstat
section, there is no need to retain that information in git history.

This is exactly why I2C_CLASS_DEPRECATED was implemented. So, users
which are using classes can migrate away. But this needs time. Given
that I2C_CLASS_DEPRECATED is new in 3.15, I'd think setting classes to 0
(thus totally disabling them) should not be before 3.17. You don't need
to resend, I'll do it for all drivers I added this new class to when I
feel it is safe to do.

Thanks,

OK then, I am dropping this patch, will wait for your patches on it.
Thanks for the review.
