After removal of the legacy EEPROM driver and I2C_CLASS_DDC support in
olpc_dcon there's no i2c client driver left supporting I2C_CLASS_DDC.
Class-based device auto-detection is a legacy mechanism and shouldn't
be used in new code. So we can remove this class completely now.

Preferably this series should be applied via the i2c tree.

v2:
- change tag in commit subject of patch 03
- add ack tags
v3:
- fix a compile error in patch 5
v4:
- more ack and review tags
v5:
- more acks

I created an immutable branch for this which the buildbots will
hopefully check over night. I will reply with comments tomorrow when I
got the buildbot results.
