As part of the ongoing i2c transition to the simple probe
("probe_new"), this patch uses i2c_match_id to retrieve the
driver_data for the probed device. The id parameter is thus no longer
necessary and the simple probe can be used instead.
In the context of an i2c probe, i2c_match_id with the module id table
and the probed client never returns null, so removing the null check
on the i2c_device_id pointer is safe.
The i2c id tables are moved up before the probe function, as
suggested by Wolfram Sang, except where the existing code already had
a declaration for the of_device_id table.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
