There's an entry in feature-removal-schedule.txt already:

What:   i2c_attach_client(), i2c_detach_client(), i2c_driver->detach_client()
When:   2.6.29 (ideally) or 2.6.30 (more likely)
Why:    Deprecated by the new (standard) device driver binding model. Use
        i2c_driver->probe() and ->remove() instead.
Who:    Jean Delvare <khali-PUYAD+kWke1g9hUCZPvPmw@public.gmane.org>

I'd say this is sufficient?
