V4L/DVB (12540): v4l: simplify v4l2_i2c_new_subdev and friends

Rewrite v4l2_i2c_new_subdev as a simplified version of v4l2_i2c_new_subdev_cfg
and remove v4l2_i2c_new_probed_subdev and v4l2_i2c_new_probed_subdev_addr.

This simplifies this API substantially.

 The bridge driver also has some helper functions it can use:
 
 struct v4l2_subdev *sd = v4l2_i2c_new_subdev(v4l2_dev, adapter,
-	       "module_foo", "chipid", 0x36);
+	       "module_foo", "chipid", 0x36, NULL);
 
 This loads the given module (can be NULL if no module needs to be loaded) and
 calls i2c_new_device() with the given i2c_adapter and chip/address arguments.
 If all goes well, then it registers the subdev with the v4l2_device.

+You can also use the last argument of v4l2_i2c_new_subdev() to pass an array

+know the exact i2c address so in that case no probing will take place.
 
 Both functions return NULL if something went wrong.
