Would people prefer there be a period of time where both the individual
i2c commands as well the single "i2c" command are both supported for
boards without CONFIG_I2C_CMD_TREE?  If so, I'd add some deprecation
messages to the individual commands.

Its a little PITA to add a "DEPRECATED" message to all the "old style"
commands as they are also called by the newer "i2c" command, so just
wanted to check before submitting a patch.

Thanks,
Peter
