    i2c: Add software_i2c driver for I2C debugging and emulation
    
    This patch adds I2C emulation in software through raw toggling of the
    SDA/SCL lines. Platforms need to provide bindings to toggle their
    respective I2C busses for this to work (e.g. by pinmuxing them as GPIOs,
    currently only enabled for Tegra).
    
    This is mostly useful as a debugging feature, to drive unusual states on
    a bus and closely monitor the device output without the need of a bus
    analyzer. It provides a few functions to "wedge" an I2C bus by aborting
    a transaction at certain points, which can be used to test if a system
    can correctly recover from an ill-timed reboot. However, it can also
    dynamically replace the existing I2C transfer functions and drive
    some/all I2C transfers on the system, which might be useful if a driver
    for the actual I2C controller hardware is not (yet) available.
    
    Based on original code by Doug Anderson <dianders at chromium.org> and
    Hung-ying Tyan <tyanh at chromium.org> for the ChromeOS embedded
    controller project.
    
    BRANCH=None
    BUG=chrome-os-partner:28323
    TEST=Spread tegra_software_i2c_init()/tegra_software_i2c_disable()
    through the code and see that everything still works.
