[PATCH v2] i2c: i2c-dev: Create 'name' attribute automatically

[Guenter Roeck]

The 'name' attribute is needed for all i2c-dev class devices, meaning
it can be created automatically by pointing to it in the class data
structure. This simplifies the code and reduces the probability for race
conditions (the name attribute should exist by the time the device is
announced to user space).

v2: Use class->dev_groups instead of class->dev_attrs
    Better use of device macros
    Simplify changes: there is no need to declare i2c_dev_class statically,
    so revert to use class_create/class_destroy.

Test results:

$ grep . /sys/class/i2c-dev/*/name
/sys/class/i2c-dev/i2c-0/name:i915 gmbus ssc
