The i2c-viai2c-common.c file is used by two drivers, but is not a proper
abstraction and can get linked into both modules in the same configuration,
which results in a warning:
scripts/Makefile.build:236: drivers/i2c/busses/Makefile: i2c-viai2c-common.o is added to multiple modules: i2c-wmt i2c-zhaoxin
The other problems with this include the incorrect use of a __weak function
when both are built-in, and the fact that the "common" module is sprinked
with 'if (i2c->plat == ...)' checks that have knowledge about the differences
between the drivers using it.
Avoid the link time warning by making the common driver a proper module
with MODULE_LICENCE()/MODULE_AUTHOR() tags, and remove the __weak function
by slightly rearranging the code.
This adds a little more duplication between the two main drivers, but
those versions get more readable in the process.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
