+When: July 2007
+Why: Superfluous, given i2c_adapter.class_dev:
+ * The "dev" was a stand-in for the physical device node that legacy

+ remaining legacy drivers must upgrade (they now trigger warnings).
+ * The "list" duplicates class device children.
+ The delay in removing this is so upgraded lm_sensors and libsensors
