	876989d (mfd: Add device tree probe support for mc13xxx)

for spi and later while introducing support for i2c copied to the i2c
driver.

Modifying driver details is very strange, for example probing an
mc13892 device (instantiated via dt) removes the driver's ability to
handle (traditionally probed) mc13783 devices in this case.
I'm not aware of any problems that make this hack necessary and if
there were some, they'd have to be fixed in the spi/i2c core, not in
a driver.

Hello Samuel,

even though this qualifies as fix, I don't think it's necessary to annoy
Linus with it for 3.5. Usually there is only one pmic on each machine so
it's not grave when probing one device disables support for another.

I agree, and I'm pushing this one for the next merge window.

Cheers,
Samuel.
