Setup i2c_board_info based on device tree contents. This has to be
a device_initcall since we need PCI to be probed by the time we
run it, but before the actual driver is initialized.

Can we factor at least some of this stuff out into common code?

I didn't really feel strong motivations to do so, given that the amount
of shared code is quite small, and the official bindings are not yet
determined.

Enh...  I'm just irked because I originally did it in a generic manner, 
and whoever it was that did further work on my patch shoved in into 
fsl_soc. :-P

Chances are whenever the bindings are done they might be incompatible
with what we already have in our firmware, so the code would need to be
separated out again.

Well, then it'd be better to just have one bit of code to fix, right? :-)

It'd suck to see different i2c controllers end up implementing the 
binding differently due to the forking, though.  Already with this 
patch, we have a different set of i2c devices that will be recognized 
depending on the adapter.
