    Kconfig: Add I2C_DEVICES device group · b5bf5a53
    Peter Maydell authored
    
    
    Currently there is no way for a board model's Kconfig stanza to
    say "I have an i2c bus which the user can plug an i2c device into,
    build all the free-standing i2c devices". The Kconfig mechanism
    for this is the "device group". Add an I2C_DEVICES group along
    the same lines as the existing PCI_DEVICES. Simple free-standing
    i2c devices which a user might plausibly want to be able to
    plug in on the QEMU commandline should have
       default y if I2C_DEVICES
    and board models which have an i2c bus that is user-accessible
    should use
       imply I2C_DEVICES
    to cause those pluggable devices to be built.
    
    In this commit we mark only a fairly conservative set of i2c devices
    as belonging to the I2C_DEVICES group: the simple sensors and RTCs
    (not including PMBus devices or devices which need GPIO lines to be
    connected).
