I2C drivers can use the clientdata-pointer to point to private data. As I2C
devices are not really unregistered, but merely detached from their driver, it
used to be the drivers obligation to clear this pointer during remove() or a
failed probe(). As a couple of drivers forgot to do this, it was agreed that it
was cleaner if the i2c-core does this clearance when appropriate, as there is
no guarantee for the lifetime of the clientdata-pointer after remove() anyhow.
This feature was added to the core with commit
e4a7b9b04d to fix the faulty drivers.
As there is no need anymore to clear the clientdata-pointer, remove all current
occurrences in the drivers to simplify the code and prevent confusion.

i2c-i801: Let the user disable selected driver features
Increase the portability of the at24 driver by letting it read from
EEPROM chips connected to cheap SMBus controllers that support neither
raw I2C messages nor even I2C block reads. All SMBus controllers
should support either word reads or byte reads, so read support
becomes universal, much like with the legacy "eeprom" driver.
Obviously, this only works with EEPROM chips up to AT24C16, that use
8-bit offset addressing. 16-bit offset addressing is almost impossible
to support on SMBus controllers.
I did not add universal support for writes, as I had no immediate need
for this, but it could be added later if needed (with the same
performance issue as byte and word reads have, of course.)

Writes may take some time on EEPROMs, so for consecutive writes, we already
have a loop waiting for the EEPROM to become ready. Use such a loop for reads,
too, in case somebody wants to immediately read after a write. Detailed bug
report and test case can be found here:

In the case of at24, the platform code registers a 'setup' callback with
the at24_platform_data. When the at24 driver detects an EEPROM, it fills
out the read and write functions of the memory_accessor and calls the
setup callback passing the memory_accessor struct. The platform code can
then use the read/write functions in the memory_accessor struct for
reading and writing the EEPROM.

As drivers/i2c/chips is going to go away, move the driver to
drivers/misc/eeprom. Other eeprom drivers may be moved here later, too.
Update Kconfig text to specify this driver as I2C.
