Subject: [PATCH v3 6/7] i2c: core: Deprecate of_node in struct i2c_board_info

Two members of the same or similar semantics is quite confusing to begin with.
Moreover, the fwnode covers all possible firmware descriptions that Linux kernel
supports. Deprecate of_node in struct i2c_board_info, so users will be warned
and in the future remote it completely.
