i2c: Add i2c_new_dummy() utility

Browse source 
This adds a i2c_new_dummy() primitive to help work with devices
that consume multiple addresses, which include many I2C eeproms
and at least one RTC.

* i2c_new_dummy - return a new i2c device bound to a dummy driver

* Context: can sleep
*
* This returns an I2C client bound to the "dummy" driver, intended for use
* with devices that consume multiple addresses. Examples of such chips
* include various EEPROMS (like 24c04 and 24c08 models).
*
* These dummy devices have two main uses. First, most I2C and SMBus calls
* except i2c_transfer() need a client handle; the dummy will be that handle.
* And second, this prevents the specified address from being bound to a
* different driver.
*
* This returns the new i2c client, which should be saved for later use with
* i2c_unregister_device(); or NULL to indicate an error.
