Some ACPI devices report multiple ids for a single i2c_client, while not
really implementing the hw-interface asociated with some of these ids.

For some of these devices calling probe and having probe fail with
-ENODEV is a problem in itself as this causes the device to be
powered-up and down again (causes its PS0 and PS3 ACPI methods to be
executed) which puts some devices in an unusable state.

This commit adds a match callback to i2c_driver, allowing drivers to
override the default i2c_bus match behavior and tell the core they
are not the right driver for the device, avoiding i2c_bus_type.probe
getting called, avoiding the undesirable power up / down cycle.

What is the status of this series ? I thought there was agreement
on merging this through the i2c (wsa/linux.git) tree ?

Yes, but I need to review the I2C core changes first.
