This device already has DEVICE_CATEGORY_MISC set since it is derived
from TYPE_I2C_SLAVE. If you now set another category bit here, the
device shows up twice in the output of "-device help". That's not so nice.

I see multiple options here:

1) Drop this patch since the device already has a category

2) Make sure to clear_bit() the MISC category here again

3) Remove the set_bit(DEVICE_CATEGORY_MISC, k->categories) in
   hw/i2c/core.c - it does not make that much sense to set the
   MISC category for an abstract parent class.

4) Introduce a new DEVICE_CATEGORY_I2C which could be used
   instead of the DEVICE_CATEGORY_MISC in hw/i2c/core.c

One of the last two options sound most appealing to me.

Can we go with 0/3/4 together? 0 being this patch:

  0) This devices inherited DEVICE_CATEGORY_I2C from his
     abstract parent, also select the DEVICE_CATEGORY_INPUT
     bit.

Yes, I guess... Thinking about this again ... dc->categories is a
bitfield, so there is or at least was the original intention that a
device can go into multiple categories. Question: Is this what we want,
and if yes, is everybody fine with the fact that a device shows up
multiple times in the output of "-device help" ? If not, shall we change
the bitfield into a normal enum value?

Anyway, a DEVICE_CATEGORY_I2C is likely a good idea, at least it's
better than MISC here (and we already have DEVICE_CATOGORY_USB, too).
Anybody want to send a patch?
