/**
* i2c_register_board_info - statically declare I2C devices
* @busnum: identifies the bus to which these devices belong
* @info: vector of i2c device descriptors
* @len: how many descriptors in the vector; may be zero to reserve
* the specified bus number.
*
* Systems using the Linux I2C driver stack can declare tables of board info
* while they initialize. This should be done in board-specific init code
* near arch_initcall() time, or equivalent, before any I2C adapter driver is
* registered. For example, mainboard init code could define several devices,
* as could the init code for each daughtercard in a board stack.
*
* The I2C devices will be created later, after the adapter for the relevant
* bus has been registered. After that moment, standard driver model tools
* are used to bind "new style" I2C drivers to the devices. The bus number
* for any device declared using this routine is not available for dynamic
* allocation.
*
* The board info passed can safely be __initdata, but be careful of embedded
* pointers (for platform_data, functions, etc) since that won't be copied.
* Device properties are deep-copied though.
