i2c: Add i2c_new_probed_device()
Add a new helper function to instantiate an i2c device. It is meant as a
replacement for i2c_new_device() when you don't know for sure at which
address your I2C/SMBus device lives. This happens frequently on TV
adapters for example, you know there is a tuner chip on the bus, but
depending on the exact board model and revision, it can live at different
addresses. So, the new i2c_new_probed_device() function will probe the bus
according to a list of addresses, and as soon as one of these addresses
responds, it will call i2c_new_device() on that one address.
This function will make it possible to port the old i2c drivers to the
new model quickly.
