Implement driver for hot-plugged I2C busses, where some devices on
a bus are hot-pluggable and their presence is indicated by GPIO line.
This feature is used by the ASUS Transformers family, by the  Microsoft
Surface RT/2 and maybe more.

ASUS Transformers expose i2c line via proprietary 40 pin plug and wire
that line through optional dock accessory. Devices in the dock are
connected to this i2c line and docks presence is detected by a dedicted
GPIO.

Adding Herve and Luca to CC because they want to achieve the same with
their I2C bus extensions, no?

Sorry, a misunderstanding: the question was for Herve and Luca. I wanted
to ask for a comment from them if this is the same problem (which I
think it is). The question was not meant for you.
