[patch] add i2c_clients_command()

[Gerd Knorr <kraxel@bytesex.org>]

  Hi,

This patch adds a function which loops over all i2c clients attached
to some i2c adapter and calls the ->command function of the driver.

Currently the bttv and saa7134 drivers have simliar functions, but
(currently) without sane locking and module handling.  Newer versions
will switch to this function.  Updates for the two drivers which are
actually using this new function are available from
http://bytesex.org/patches/wip/
