i2c: Migration aids for i2c_adapter.dev removal

Browse Source 
Flag i2c_adapter.dev for removal after userspace tools get upgraded, and
include a near-term code migration aid to facilitate this:

 - The class device gets the name attribute it should have had.  This
   was previously (wrongly) associated with the i2c_adapter.dev node.
   Sysfs based tools and libraries can start converting right away.

 - Issue a warning for legacy adapter drivers that don't provide any
   physical device node; so systems with those drivers will know to
   fix this problem earlier.

This is one of a series of patches to help the I2C stack become a better
citizen of the Linux Driver Model world.

---------------------------
What: i2c_adapter.dev
i2c_adapter.list
When: July 2007
Why: Superfluous, given i2c_adapter.class_dev:
* The "dev" was a stand-in for the physical device node that legacy
drivers would not have; but now it's almost always present. Any
remaining legacy drivers must upgrade (they now trigger warnings).
* The "list" duplicates class device children.
The delay in removing this is so upgraded lm_sensors and libsensors
can get deployed. (Removal causes minor changes in the sysfs layout,
notably the location of the adapter type name and parenting the i2c
client hardware directly from their controller.)
