[PATCH v6 01/13] mfd: add simple regmap based I2C driver

There are I2C devices which contain several different functions but
doesn't require any special access functions. For these kind of drivers
an I2C regmap should be enough.

Create an I2C driver which creates an I2C regmap and enumerates its
children. If a device wants to use this as its MFD core driver, it has
to add an individual compatible string. It may provide its own regmap
configuration.

Subdevices can use dev_get_regmap() on the parent to get their regmap
instance.

Changes since v5:
 - removed "select MFD_CORE" in Kconfig
 - removed help text in Kconfig, we assume that the users of this
   driver will have a "select MFD_SIMPLE_MFD_I2C". Instead added
   a small description to the driver itself.
 - removed "struct simple_mfd_i2c_config" and use regmap_config
   directly
 - changed builtin_i2c_driver() to module_i2c_driver(), added
   MODULE_ boilerplate
 - cleaned up the included files

Changes since v4:
 - new patch. Lee, please bear with me. I didn't want to delay the
   new version (where a lot of remarks on the other patches were
   addressed) even more, just because we haven't figured out how
   to deal with the MFD part. So for now, I've included this one.
