Could we please just remove the __deprecated use in i2c entirely?

As fat as I can tell, it's used for one thing, which is the
"attach_adapter" function pointer member in 'struct i2c_driver'.

And I think there is _one_ remaining driver using it, namely the
powermac "therm_windtunnel" driver.

Could somebody who knows the i2c probing just a bit convert that *one*
remaining driver, then remove the "attach_adapter" entirely, and also
remove this thing?

Alternatively, perhaps the driver should be removed? The last actual
powermac change to that driver seems to be from August 2009.
Everything since has been just cleanup unrelated to that driver code
itself (ie spelling fixes, automated coccinelle scripts etc).

Added a few people either because they're still officially maintainers
of that file, or because they touched the code ten years ago.
