Subject: [PATCH RFC 0/4] Start unification of of_device_id and i2c_device_id

i2c_device_id is using unsigned long as driver data, whereas
of_device_id is using a void pointer. Normally drivers use them both as
either a pointer or a scalar, but in some cases driver's authors chose
to treat one as a pointer and another as a scalar that is being used as
an index in array of chip-specific data, i.e. something like this:

	data = device_get_match_data(...);
	if (!data) {
		id = i2c_client_get_device_id(...);
		data = &some_array[id->driver_data];
	}

This makes it hard to turn device_get_match_data() into truly generic
function working well for ACPI and DT, as well as for legacy cases.

So let's try to switch i2c_device_id to also use a void pointer and
first switch drivers with the patterns above to it, and then the rest of
them.

I did a conversion of a couple of drivers in i2c to illustrate.
