Subject: [RFC Patch v5 0/1] i2c: core: Adapter and client stats as sysfs attributes

This change adds statistics to the i2c_adapter structure as Wolfram
previously suggested
(https://lore.kernel.org/linux-i2c/YgEYEk355t8C4J1x@shikoro/).
It also adds relevant statistics to the per-address i2c_clients where
applicable.

The list of statistics are:

- bus_errors
- nacks
- recovery_successes / recovery_failures (only applicable to
  i2c_adapter)
- timeouts
- messages (only applicable to i2c_client)
- transfers (only applicable to i2c_adapter)

The statistics are located in /sys/class/i2c-adapter/i2c-x/stats and
/sys/class/i2c-adapter/i2c-x/x-xxxx/stats respectively.

Since the counting is done in __i2c_transfer, where the number of
messages transferred is not known upon error, the error counters are
attributed to all unique addresses that appear in the message list
passed into __i2c_transfer.

Currently an rbtree is used to find the i2c_client located at a certain
address. Would be happy to know if there is a better way of doing this.

Thanks!
