Class based instantiation mechanism can cause huge delays when booting.
For example: when CONFIG_SENSORS_LM75 option is enabled for or omap5-uevm board,
where i2c-gpio is used for HDMI edid reading - it introduces up to 5 sec boot
delay.
It's not recommended to use this mechanism with embedded I2C, so disable it by
leaving I2C adapter "class" field undefined (remove I2C_CLASS_HWMON and
I2C_CLASS_SPD) and add a deprecation warning to allow users, relying on this
mechanism, to switch to something better.
