[PATCH] i2c-parport: Make type parameter mandatory
This patch forces the user to specify what type of adapter is present when
loading i2c-parport or i2c-parport-light. If none is specified, the driver
init simply fails - instead of assuming adapter type 0.
This alleviates the sometimes lengthy boot time delays which can be caused
by accidentally building one of these into a kernel along with several i2c
slave drivers that have lengthy probe routines (e.g. hwmon drivers).
Kconfig and documentation updated accordingly.

This driver is a replacement for (and was inspired by) an older
driver named i2c-philips-par. The new driver supports more devices,
and makes it easier to add support for new devices.

+ An adapter type parameter is now mandatory. Please read the file
+ Documentation/i2c/busses/i2c-parport for details.

Another driver exists, named i2c-parport-light, which doesn't depend
on the parport driver. This is meant for embedded systems. Don't say
Y here if you intend to say Y or M there.
