Subject: [PATCH -next] i2c: mlxbf: Fix unused-variable warning

If CONFIG_ACPI is not set,
gcc warns about unused variable:

drivers/i2c/busses/i2c-mlxbf.c:2206:35: error: ‘mlxbf_i2c_chip’ defined but not used [-Werror=unused-variable]  static struct mlxbf_i2c_chip_info mlxbf_i2c_chip[] = {
                                   ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~
cc1: all warnings being treated as errors

Mark these variables as __maybe_unused  to fix this.

You need to add your email address as well.

Since DT support is gone now, shouldn't the driver actually depend on
ACPI now? Then, we could get rid of all the #ifdefs in the code?
