Laurent explained to me what V4L did and now does. It used to be the way
tha V4L drivers did register I2C slaves according to platform_data. Now,
with DT the slaves get instanciated earlier, so they now use notifiers
to know when the slaves are in place. Something like this should
probably be done here, too, instead of unregistering and re-registering.
