i2c: i801: Documentation update
The i2c-i801 driver documentation needs some dusting: * Mention disable_features flag 0x20. * The i2c_ec driver has been removed from the kernel long ago. Driver i2c-scmi serves the same purpose for more recent hardware. * Replace obsolete /proc paths with equivalent /sys paths.

In order to unhide the SMBus, we need to change the value of a PCI
register before the kernel enumerates the PCI devices. This is done in
