[PATCH] Drop superfluous setting of i2c_board_info.type

[PATCH] Drop superfluous setting of i2c_board_info.type

[Paul Bolle]

Three instances of struct i2c_board_info have their "type" member set to
"tsc2007" twice. First through the I2C_BOARD_INFO macro and then
directly. Drop the superfluous second setting.

0) Entirely untested. I'm unsure what toolchain(s) is (are) needed to
compile this and I am certain that I don't have the hardware.

1) This is apparently legal. Doesn't gcc issue a warning for this?

That's a new one to me. Seems legal enough. Using this feature you can
use macro initializion for the bulk of structure elements and then just
overload the ones you disagree with to save time, neat yet revolting at
the same time, there was definitely a committee involved in this.

I wondered about that too, gcc doesn't even warn when the two values are
different. See for example commit
bd9e310dca15c9987256f67af19f9f42426e7493.

I already submitted a patch for the imx bits with Message id
1335989287-10094-1-git-send-email-u.kleine-koenig@pengutronix.de.
(e.g.
http://mid.gmane.org/1335989287-10094-1-git-send-email-u.kleine-koenig@pengutronix.de)

Don't know if Sascha took it already. If he did, he didn't tell me.

In that case it were two strings ("rtc-pcf8563" versus "pcf8563"). Why
should gcc care? Or is there something going on behind the scenes which
somehow depends on the contents of the string?

Thanks. I missed that one, obviously. Should I just drop that part of
the patch and resend?

By the way, together with my previous patch (Message-ID
1337869829.22505.15.camel@x61.thuisdomein , probably not yet archived on
the web) we have found all instances of this issue, haven't we?

I just merged Uwes patch, this leaves the sh-mobile hunk still to be
fixed.
