[1/2] i2c: cadence: Remove .owner field for driver

There is no need to init .owner field.

Based on the patch from Peter Griffin <peter.griffin@linaro.org>
"mmc: remove .owner field for drivers using module_platform_driver"

This patch removes the superflous .owner field for drivers which
use the module_platform_driver API, as this is overriden in
platform_driver_register anyway."

It says drivers, but does only one...

... so: any interest in doing this for the whole subsystem? Basically
good catch, though.

I have c&p this from Peter's description that's why there are just drivers.

Mark was also interested about doing this for spi. Doing this for the whole
kernel will be the best. coccinelle script
is good option I have never played with it.

Thanks,

Thanks, but superseded in favour of a generic solution
(https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/10/21/594).
