[PATCH v2 1/2] dt-bindings: i2c: add property to avoid device detection

[Vincent Whitchurch <vincent.whitchurch@axis.com>]

When drivers with ->detect callbacks are loaded, the I2C core does a
bunch of transactions to try to probe for these devices, regardless of
whether they are specified in the devicetree or not.  (This only happens
on I2C controllers whose drivers enable the I2C_CLASS* flags, but this
is the case for generic drivers like i2c-gpio.)

These kinds of transactions are unnecessary on systems where the
devicetree specifies all the devices on the I2C bus, so add a property
to indicate that the devicetree description of the hardware is complete
and thus allow this discovery to be disabled.

Notes:
    v2:
    - Change subject prefix
    - Reword description of property
