Merge branch 'i2c/for-4.2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/wsa/linux

Pull i2c updates from Wolfram Sang:
 "Highlights:

   - new drivers for Mediatek I2C, APM X-Gene, Broadcom Settop
   - major updates to at91, davinci
   - bugfixes to the mux infrastructure when dealing with the new quirk
     mechanism
   - more users for the bus recovery feature
   - further improvements to the slave framework

  Plus the usual bunch of smaller driver and core improvements and
  fixes.

  There is one patch removing old code from an ARM platform.  This has
  been acked by the sh_mobile maintainer Simon Horman"

Linux can also be an I2C slave in case I2C controllers have slave support.
Besides this HW requirement, one also needs a software backend providing the
actual functionality. An example for this is the slave-eeprom driver, which
acts as a dual memory driver. While another I2C master on the bus can access it
like a regular EEPROM, the Linux I2C slave can access the content via sysfs and
retrieve/provide information as needed. The software backend driver and the I2C
bus driver communicate via events. Here is a small graph visualizing the data
flow and the means by which data is transported. The dotted line marks only one
example. The backend could also use e.g. a character device, be in-kernel
only, or something completely different:
Linux can also be an I2C slave if the I2C controller in use has slave

================
First, the events which are used by the bus driver and the backend will be
described in detail. After that, some implementation hints for extending bus
drivers and writing backends will be given.
