[PATCH] Revert "i2c: dev: switch from register_chrdev to cdev API"

From: Wolfram Sang
Date: Sat May 28 2016 - 05:08:04 EST


This reverts commit d6760b14d4a1243f918d983bba1e35c5a5cd5a6d. When
hitting Linus' tree, buildbots ran additional checks and found boot
problems. Although Dan Carpenter provided an obvious fix already, I
still could not reproduce one problem manually (at least not on a
Saturday morning). So we'll try again later after some more
investigation.
