Well, NONE of the bindings are strictly related to linux unless they say
'linux,' prefix.

We need to remove i2c.txt. Often that hasn't happened because we need to
relicense the text from GPL only to dual licensed. From a quick look,
i2c/i2c-controller.yaml appears to have everything in i2c.txt, so I
think we can go ahead and remove it. There's only a few references to
i2c.txt to update with that. I'll send a patch, but please double check
whether you think i2c-controller.yaml is missing anything.
