91b28aeb17 i2c: update i2c-dev.h warning in documentation
`Documentation/i2c/dev-interface` gives examples for accessing i2c from
userspace.

There's a note that warns developers about the two `i2c-dev.h` header
files which were shipped with the kernel and i2c-tools separately.

However, following i2c-tools commits suggest that the header files are now
identical (in functionality) and `i2c_*` helper functions are now defined
in a separate header called `i2c/smbus.h`, which is distributed with
i2c-tools:

commit 652619121974 ("Minimize differences with kernel flavor")
commit 93caf007f4cb ("Move SMBus helper functions to include/i2c/smbus.h")

Thus, I've converted the warning paragraph into a historical note and
updated the suggested header files.

257d6ef4aa Documentation: i2c: rename variable "register" to "reg"
The example code provided with the i2c device interface documentation
won't compile since it uses the reserved word "register" to name a
variable.

The compiler fails with this error message:

 error: expected identifier or '(' before '=' token
   __u8 register = 0x20; /* Device register to access */
                 ^

Rename the variable "register" to simply "reg" in the example code.

Another couple of typos has been fixed as well.
[Change "! =" to "!=".]

7c15fd1249 i2c: Document the implementation details of the /dev interface
I wrote this explanation to answer a question on the i2c mailing list,
and thought it would be good to have in the kernel documentation.

6662cbb989 i2c: Rename the PEC functionality bit
Rename I2C_FUNC_SMBUS_HWPEC_CALC as I2C_FUNC_SMBUS_PEC, and list that
functionality as always available through the software implementation.
Update documentation accordingly (and list similar requirements).

The way it's currently packaged doesn't present the capability in a
useful way.

Upon suggestion by Nils Roeder, here is an update to the i2c
documentation to clarify which header files user-space applications
relying on the i2c-dev interface should include.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
