[PATCH] i2c-dev: Introduce "linux,i2c-dev-name" property for device tree of I2C controller.

[egyszeregy]

From: Benjamin Szőke <egyszeregy@xxxxxxxxxxx>

Optionally, an I2C controller may have a "linux,i2c-dev-name" property.
This is a string which is defining a custom suffix name for I2C device
in /dev/i2c-<name> format. It helps to improve software portability between
various SoCs and reduce complexities of hardware related codes in SWs.
