[PATCH v3 1/4] i2c: add helpers to ease DMA handling

From: Wolfram Sang
Date: Tue Jul 18 2017 - 06:25:00 EST


One helper checks if DMA is suitable and optionally creates a bounce
buffer, if not. The other function returns the bounce buffer and makes
sure the data is properly copied back to the message.

Changes since v2:

* rebased to v4.13-rc1
* helper functions are not inlined anymore but moved to i2c core
* __must_check has been added to the buffer check helper
* the release function has been renamed to contain 'dma' as well
