Currently the I2C devices instantiation Method 3 "Probe an I2C bus for
certain devices" (see Documentation/i2c/instantiating-devices) is always
enabled for all platforms (boards) and can't be disabled.
This feature introduces a system boot time delay for boards,
where I2C devices topology is explicitly defined in DT or platform code
(Method 1 and Method 2 are used only) and especially when i2c-gpio is used.

For example:
When CONFIG_SENSORS_LM75 option was enabled for omap4-sdp board -
it introduces 5-6 ms boot delay.

When CONFIG_SENSORS_LM75 option was enabled for omap5-uevm board,
where i2c-gpio is used for HDMI edid reading - it introduces up to 5 sec boot
delay.

Hence, introduce CONFIG_I2C_DISABLE_DEVICE_DETECTION configuration option
to allow disabling of I2C devices instantiation Method 3 "Probe an I2C bus
for certain devices" if it's not needed (usually for embedded systems).
