Subject[patch 39/60] i2c: Let users select algorithm drivers manually again
2.6.26-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------
From: Jean Delvare <khali@linux-fr.org>

Already in Linus' tree:
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=8d24f8dcb7ead491704e274883b2c627062f6235

In kernel 2.6.26, the ability to select I2C algorithm drivers manually
was removed, as all in-kernel drivers do that automatically. However
there were some complaints that it was a problem for out-of-tree I2C
bus drivers. In order to address these complaints, let's allow manual
selection of these drivers again, but still hide them by default for
better general user experience.

This closes bug #11140:

+ Some I2C bus drivers require so-called "I2C algorithm" modules
+ to work. These are basically software-only abstractions of generic
