docs: i2c: old-module-parameters: use monospace instead of ""

Use a monospace (literal) formatting for better readability of sysfs
attributes and the "dummy" client name. This looks much more readable in
ReST-generated output.

Up to kernel 2.6.32, many I2C drivers used helper macros provided by
<linux/i2c.h> which created standard module parameters to let the user
control how the driver would probe I2C buses and attach to devices. These
parameters were known as "probe" (to let the driver probe for an extra
address), "force" (to forcibly attach the driver to a given device) and
"ignore" (to prevent a driver from probing a given address).

With the conversion of the I2C subsystem to the standard device driver
binding model, it became clear that these per-module parameters were no

Of course, it is important to instantiate the "dummy" device before loading
Of course, it is important to instantiate the ``dummy`` device before loading
the driver. The dummy device will be handled by i2c-core itself, preventing
other drivers from binding to it later on. If there is a real device at the
problematic address, and you want another driver to bind to it, then simply
pass the name of the device in question instead of "dummy".
