Move it up a level and I will take patches for it.

The idea to collect trivial devices in a seperate file is coming from the early DT days and turned out to be a bad decision. It regularly creates maintenance pain and the information is not where users would expect it (i2c folder is for i2c bus drivers not clients). Also, we do not maintain such a file for other subsystems, so we should put an end to this as well. First step is to deprecate it and mention that it should be refactored into proper bindings.
