Now that i2c_add_driver() doesn't need the module owner to be set by
hand, we can delete it from the drivers. This patch catches all of the
drivers that I found in the current tree (if a driver sets the .owner by
hand, it's not a problem, just not needed.)

We should use the i2c_driver.driver's .name and .owner fields
instead of the i2c_driver's ones.
This patch updates the drivers/media/video and usb/media drivers.

Just about every i2c chip driver sets the I2C_DF_NOTIFY flag, so we
can simply make it the default and drop the flag. If any driver really
doesn't want to be notified when i2c adapters are added, that driver
can simply omit to set .attach_adapter. This approach is also more
robust as it prevents accidental NULL pointer dereferences.

Merge the algorithm id part (16 upper bits) of the i2c adapters ids
into the definition of the adapters ids directly. After that, we don't
need to OR both ids together for each i2c_adapter structure.

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.)

On top of my previous patch which removes the use of address ranges in
video i2c drivers, this one can save an additional few bytes of memory.
Most of these drivers which do not use I2C_CLIENT_INSMOD initialize the
unused address lists in a less than optimal way. This patch simply
optimizes this, by using a single one-element list instead of 3
different lists with two elements each.
This saves an average 63 bytes on these drivers.

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!
