The separation between algorithm and adapter was unsharp at places. This was
partly hidden by the fact, that the ISA-driver allowed just one instance and
had all private data in static variables. This patch makes neccessary
preparations to add a platform driver on top of the algorithm, while still
supporting ISA. Note: Due to lack of hardware, the ISA-driver could not be
tested except that it builds.
Concerning the core struct i2c_algo_pca_data:
- A private data field was added, all hardware dependant data may go here.
Similar to other algorithms, now a pointer to this data is passed to the
adapter's functions. In order to make as less changes as possible to the
ISA-driver, it leaves the private data empty and still only uses its static
variables.
- A "reset_chip" function pointer was added; such a functionality must come
from the adapter, not the algorithm.
- use a variable "i2c_clock" instead of a function pointer "get_clock",
allowing for write access to a default in case a wrong value was supplied.
In the algorithm-file:
- move "i2c-pca-algo.h" into "linux/i2c-algo-pca.h"
- now using per_instance timeout values (i2c_adap->timeout)
- error messages specify the device, not only the driver name
- restructure initialization to easily support "i2c_add_numbered_adapter"
- drop "retries" and "own" (i2c address) as they were unused
(The state-machine for I2C-communication was not touched.)
In the ISA-driver:
- adapt to new algorithm

There are no more per-i2c-algorithm adapter max. Last time there were
was in July 1999.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
