Luis R. Rodriguez 5abe9b2684 i2c: remove __init from i2c_register_board_info()
As of next-20160607 with allyesconfig we get this linker failure:

  MODPOST vmlinux.o
WARNING: vmlinux.o(.text+0x21bc0d): Section mismatch in reference from
the function intel_scu_devices_create() to the function
.init.text:i2c_register_board_info()

This is caused by the fact that intel_scu_devices_create() calls
i2c_register_board_info() and intel_scu_devices_create() is not
annotated with __init. This typically involves manual code
inspection and if one is certain this is correct we would
just peg intel_scu_devices_create() with a __ref annotation.

In this case this would be wrong though as the
intel_scu_devices_create() call is exported, and used in
the ipc_probe() on drivers/platform/x86/intel_scu_ipc.c.
The issue is that even though builtin_pci_driver(ipc_driver)
is used this just exposes the probe routine, which can occur
at any point in time if this bus supports hotplug. A race
can happen between kernel_init_freeable() that calls the init
calls (in this case registeres the intel_scu_ipc.c driver, and
later free_initmem(), which would free the i2c_register_board_info().
If a probe happens later in boot i2c_register_board_info() would
not be present and we should get a page fault.

* Systems using the Linux I2C driver stack can declare tables of board info

* near arch_initcall() time, or equivalent, before any I2C adapter driver is
* registered. For example, mainboard init code could define several devices,
* as could the init code for each daughtercard in a board stack.
*
* The I2C devices will be created later, after the adapter for the relevant
* bus has been registered. After that moment, standard driver model tools
* are used to bind "new style" I2C drivers to the devices. The bus number
* for any device declared using this routine is not available for dynamic
* allocation.

* The board info passed can safely be __initdata, but be careful of embedded
* pointers (for platform_data, functions, etc) since that won't be copied.
