Reinvent I2C ops
Do not use the global platform_i2c_transfer() function that can only be
implemented by a single driver. Instead, make a `struct device` aware
transfer() function the only interface function for I2C controller dri-
vers to implement.
To not force the slave device drivers to be implemented either above
generic I2C or specialized SMBus operations, we support SMBus control-
lers in the slave device interface too.
We start with four simple slave functions: i2c_readb(), i2c_writeb(),
i2c_readb_at() and i2c_writeb_at(). They are all compatible to respec-
tive SMBus functions. But we keep aliases because it would be weird to
force e.g. an I2C EEPROM driver to call smbus_read_byte().
