[RFC PATCH 0/2] i2c: core: Introduce i2c_client_get_device_id helper

Hello,

I don't want to step anyone's work here, so I'm sending this RFC to the
devs involved in the original discussion. I read on Uwe Kleine-König's
patchset submission thread the necessity for an i2c helper to aid with the
migration to the new i2c_driver .probe_new callback. Following the
suggestions made there, I wrote this small patchset implementing the
suggested helper function and ported the bmp280 IIO i2c probe to the new
probe using that helper.

Thanks for your time!
Angel
