  • Many hwmon drivers don't use the id information provided by the old
    i2c probe function, and the remainder can easily be adapted to the new
    form ("probe_new") by calling i2c_match_id explicitly.

    This avoids scanning the identifier tables during probes.

    Drivers which didn't use the id are converted as-is; drivers which did
    are modified as follows:

    * if the information in i2c_client is sufficient, that's used instead
    (client->name);
    * anything else is handled by calling i2c_match_id() with the same
    level of error-handling (if any) as before.

    A few drivers aren't included in this patch because they have a
    different set of maintainers. They will be covered by other patches.
