i2c: Driver to expose PowerNV platform i2c busses
The patch exposes the available i2c busses on the PowerNV platform
to the kernel and implements the bus driver to support i2c and
smbus commands.
The driver uses the platform device infrastructure to probe the busses
on the platform and registers them with the i2c driver framework.
