i2c: Convert the pcf8575 driver to a new-style i2c driver
The new-style pcf8575 driver implements the optional detect() callback to cover the use cases of the legacy driver. Warning: users will now have to use the force module parameter to get the driver to attach to their device. That's not a bad thing as these devices can't be detected anyway. Note that this doesn't change the fact that this driver is deprecated in favor of gpio/pcf857x. Signed-off-by: Jean Delvare <khali@linux-fr.org>
