This has the downside of moving the sanity check of the type parameter
to run time, instead of driver load time. In particular this means that
loading the i2c-parport driver without specifying the type will no
longer fail. The driver will load successfully, but won't do anything.

While I prefer user errors to be reported as soon as possible, I don't
really mind here, as parallel port drivers are not something worth
debating over at this point in time. As a matter of fact, I can't
possibly test this change as I no longer have a parallel port on any of
my systems.

So if that's the direction we want to take then so be it.
