Respin to split error return fixups out of mpc-i2c to of_platform change

The following series implements standard linux module aliasing for i2c modules
It then converts the mpc i2c driver from being a platform driver to an open
firmware one. I2C device names are picked up from the device tree. Module
aliasing is used to translate from device tree names into to linux kernel
names. Several i2c drivers are updated to use the new aliasing. 
Is there any relationship of these patches with commit

    i2c: Kill struct i2c_device_id
    
    I2C devices do not have any form of ID as PCI or USB devices have.
    No driver uses "MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE(i2c, ...)" because it doesn't
    make sense. So we can get rid of struct i2c_device_id and the
    associated support code.
