[PATCH 2/3] i2c: qup: Remove .owner field for driver

[PATCH 2/3] i2c: qup: Remove .owner field for driver

[Kiran Padwal]

There is no need to init .owner field.

Based on the patch from Peter Griffin <peter.griffin@linaro.org>
"mmc: remove .owner field for drivers using module_platform_driver"

This patch removes the superfluous .owner field for drivers which
use the module_platform_driver API, as this is overridden in
platform_driver_register anyway."

Thanks, but superseded in favour of a generic solution
(https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/10/21/594).
