[RFC Patch v2 0/3] I2C statistics as sysfs attributes

[Sui Chen <suichen@google.com>]

Add I2C statistics such as Bus Error counts and NACK counts as sysfs
attributes so they don't need to live in debugfs.

There are a few I2C statistics that are implemented in many I2C
controllers, such as bus error counts and NACK counts. Having those
statistics in sysfs will 1) allow for a unified definition across
various I2C drivers, and 2) make the statistics more ABI-stable and
available on devices with the debugfs disabled.

Overall the patch works as the following way:
1) An I2C statistics sysfs directory is created.
2) Each specific I2C driver is responsible for instantiating the
statistics available.

Test Process:
1. Clone the OpenBMC repository
2. `devtool modify`and apply patch to the linux-nuvoton recipe
3. Build image for quanta-gsj
4. Build QEMU
5. Run the image-bmc image in QEMU

Results:
root@gsj:/sys/class/i2c-adapter/i2c-1/stats# ls
ber_cnt          i2c_speed        nack_cnt         rec_fail_cnt
rec_succ_cnt     timeout_cnt      tx_complete_cnt
