x86 ACPI devices which ship with only Android as their factory image
usually declare a whole bunch of bogus I2C devices in their ACPI tables.
Instantiating I2C clients for these bogus devices causes various issues,
e.g. GPIO/IRQ resource conflicts because sometimes drivers do bind to them.
The Android x86 kernel fork shipped on these devices has some special code
to remove these bogus devices, instead of just fixing the DSDT <sigh>.
Use the new acpi_quirk_skip_i2c_client_enumeration() helper to
identify known boards with this issue, and on these boards ignore I2C
devices described in ACPI, with a few exceptions which are known to
always be correct (and in case of the audio-codecs where the drivers
heavily rely on the codec being enumerated through ACPI).
Note these boards typically do actually have I2C devices, just
different ones then the ones described in their DSDT. The devices
which are actually present are manually instantiated by the
drivers/platform/x86/x86-android-tablets.c kernel module.
