i2c: add debug info when class instantiation was dropped
We have a warning already when support for old-fashioned class based instantiation is about to be dropped somewhen soon from a driver. Let's have another one when it was actually dropped. This allows to remove the cruft a little earlier and still let users know what happened in the rare case they are missing devices after the change. However, there is enough interest to get rid of class based instantiation rather sooner than later because it improves boot up time. Signed-off-by: Wolfram Sang <wsa@the-dreams.de>
