i2c: add quirk structure to describe adapter flaws

Browse Source 
The number of I2C adapters which are not fully I2C compatible is rising,
sadly. Drivers usually do handle the flaws, still the user receives only
some errno for a transfer which normally can be expected to work. This
patch introduces a formal description of flaws. One advantage is that
the core can check before the actual transfer if the messages could be
transferred at all. This is done in the next patch. Another advantage is
that we can pass this information to the user so the restrictions are
exactly known and further actions can be based on that. This will be
done later after some stabilization period for this description.

* struct i2c_adapter_quirks - describe flaws of an i2c adapter
* @flags: see I2C_AQ_* for possible flags and read below
* @max_num_msgs: maximum number of messages per transfer
* @max_write_len: maximum length of a write message
* @max_read_len: maximum length of a read message
* @max_comb_1st_msg_len: maximum length of the first msg in a combined message
* @max_comb_2nd_msg_len: maximum length of the second msg in a combined message
*
* Note about combined messages: Some I2C controllers can only send one message
* per transfer, plus something called combined message or write-then-read.
* This is (usually) a small write message followed by a read message and
* barely enough to access register based devices like EEPROMs. There is a flag
* to support this mode. It implies max_num_msg = 2 and does the length checks
* with max_comb_*_len because combined message mode usually has its own
* limitations. Because of HW implementations, some controllers can actually do
* write-then-anything or other variants. To support that, write-then-read has
* been broken out into smaller bits like write-first and read-second which can
* be combined as needed.
