[PATCH] I2C: Kill i2c_client.id (5/5)

[Greg KH <greg@kroah.com>]

ChangeSet 1.2087, 2005/03/02 11:58:29-08:00, khali@linux-fr.org

[PATCH] I2C: Kill i2c_client.id (5/5)

> (5/5) Documentation update.

Finally, updates are required to the i2c/writing-client and
i2c/porting-client documents. Remove any reference to i2c_client id and
invite porters to discard that struct member.
