I removed "driver" from the option name.

I removed I2C, in accordance with Jan Engelhardt's patch:

For your information, I've been reworking the i2c-algo-bit driver quite
a bit since our last discussion. It now has a 50/50 SCL duty cycle, so
udelay = 50 leads to a 10 kHz clock (which is fine, as this is the
minimum allowed for SMBus compatibility) and udelay = 5 leads to 100
kHz, the max for standard-mode I2C and SMBus.

http://lists.lm-sensors.org/pipermail/i2c/2007-March/001014.html

So your default values are OK, but I'll update the comments so that
they match the behavior of the updated i2c-algo-bit driver.

Changed I2C_NAME_SIZE to sizeof(adap->name), in accordance to this
patch:
http://lists.lm-sensors.org/pipermail/i2c/2007-March/000881.html

I suspect that you will soon want to use the new
i2c_bit_add_numbered_bus() instead, so that you can enumerate I2C
devices on the bus directly from the platform code.

Otherwise it looks OK to me, I take the patch. If others have comments
or objections, just speak up and submit incremental patches as needed.

Now I would like to see platform code actually using this.
