Merge branch 'i2c-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jdelvare/staging
Pull i2c update from Jean Delvare: "This is my last pull request for the i2c subsystem. It includes all the patches I collected between kernel v3.7-rc1 and me passing i2c maintenance duties over to Wolfram. Future patches to the many i2c bus drivers I still maintain will go through Wolfram's tree." * 'i2c-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jdelvare/staging: i2c: Mention functionality flags in SMBus protocol documentation i2c-piix4: Convert dev_printk(KERN_<LEVEL> to dev_<level>( i2c-i801: Enable interrupts for all post-ICH5 chips i2c-i801: Add device tree support MAINTAINERS: Fix drivers/i2c/busses/i2c-stub.c
