I hope we can have a minimum working driver get merged first so that we 
can have a base.

The v10 has three remaining problems:

    1. To remove vi->adap.class = I2C_CLASS_DEPRECATED; (already 
confirmed by Wolfram)

    2. Use #ifdef CONFIG_PM_SLEEP to replace the "__maybe_unused" 
(already confirmed by Arnd)

    3. It seems the I2C core takes care of locking already, so is it 
safy to remove "struct mutex lock in struct virtio_i2c"?

        (Raised by Viresh, still need Wolfram's confirmation)
