Some devices might need parameters to control their operation,
add the ability to pass these parameters to the client.

Cleaning up old patches from patchwork once in a while...

I don't think it is a good way to add parsers to each and every I2C
client driver which wants to read extra parameters. Maybe there is a
more generic way to configure at runtime these days. I never needed
something like this, so sadly I can't give a pointer.
