[PATCH 2/2] i2c: aspeed: cleanup driver

checkpatch seems to be upset about my device tree identifiers being
undocumented; do we have a coordinated effort for this? I did not even see
a directory for aspeed under arm.

checkpatch is also asked about updating MAINTAINERS, but looks like it
should be covered under existing line:
F: drivers/*/*aspeed*
Does it just ask this every time you add a file?

changelog:
 - Squashed driver commits as suggested by Joel
 - Renamed a couple functions for consistency
 - Fixed a couple style errors
