The probe function doesn't make use of the i2c_device_id * parameter so it
can be trivially converted.

This patch hasn't made it into next yet. Is it still on your radar?

My plans for this series is to complete the conversion after the next
merge window which should include most patches from this series.

So I ask you to either take this patch during the next merge window or
accept that it will be applied together with the i2c core conversion
that drops .probe() with the i2c_device_id parameter.

This got Guenter's R-b tag twice now, but the patch didn't appear yet in
next. I'll prepare a series for Wolfram to apply via his i2c tree based
on what is in next during the merge window with the idea to get the
change early into next with an immutable tag. If you get this patch in
during the merge window that would be ideal, but if not, I will take
care of it and as announced will send it together with the i2c change.


It is in my watchdog-next tree, and we can only hope that Wim
will pick it up from there.
