[PATCH i2c-next v9 1/5] dt-bindings: i2c: Add 'bus-timeout-ms' and '#retries' properties as common optional

This commit adds 'bus-timeout-ms' and '#retries' properties as
common optional properties that can be used for setting 'timeout'
and 'retries' values of 'struct i2c_adapter'. With this patch, the
bus timeout value and the master transfer retries count can be set
through these properties at the registration time of an adapter.
Still the values can be set by I2C_TIMEOUT and I2C_RETRIES ioctls
on cdev at runtime too.

These properties may not be supported by all drivers. However, if
a driver wants to support one of them, it should adapt the
bindings in this document.

Binding may contain optional "interrupts" property, describing interrupts
used by the device. I2C core will assign "irq" interrupt (or the very first
interrupt if not using interrupt names) as primary interrupt for the slave.
