CONFIG_HOTPLUG is going away as an option so __devexit_p is no longer
needed.

As mentioned on the lm-sensors list for hwmon patches already, I think
it would be much clearer to not split __devexit, __devexit_p, __devinit
etc. removal into separate patches. One patch per subsystem would be
easier to review and apply. If patches grow too large then you'd rather
split in a different direction, for example drivers/i2c/muxes vs.
drivers/i2c/busses or even grouped by related bus drivers (see entries
"I2C OVER PARALLEL PORT" and "I2C/SMBUS CONTROLLER DRIVERS FOR PC" in
MAINTAINERS for examples of meaningful groups.)
I agree with Jean here. Is there a V2 planned? With a change like this?
Yes, my plan is to redo the patches for the i2c subsystem.
