[PATCH v4 3/8] i2c: core: Add a format macro for I2C device names

Some places in the kernel allow users to map resources to a device
using device name (for example, in the struct gpiod_lookup_table).
Currently this involves waiting for the I2C client to have been registered
so we can use dev_name(&client->dev). We want to add a function to allow
users to refer to an I2C device by name before it has been instantiated,
so create a macro for the format that's accessible outside the I2C layer
and use it in i2c_dev_set_name().
