i2c: add deprecation warning for class based instantiation
Class based instantiation can cause noticeable delays when booting. This mechanism is used when it is not possible to describe slaves on I2C busses. As we do have other mechanisms, most embedded I2C will not need classes and for embedded it is explicitly not recommended to use them. Add a deprecation warning for drivers which want to disable class based instantiation in the near future to gain boot-up time, so users relying on this technique can switch to something better. They really should. Signed-off-by: Wolfram Sang <wsa@the-dreams.de>
