This patch adds I2C emulation in software through raw toggling of the
SDA/SCL lines. Platforms need to provide bindings to toggle their
respective I2C busses for this to work (e.g. by pinmuxing them as GPIOs,
currently only enabled for Tegra).
This is mostly useful as a debugging feature, to drive unusual states on
a bus and closely monitor the device output without the need of a bus
analyzer. It provides a few functions to "wedge" an I2C bus by aborting
a transaction at certain points, which can be used to test if a system
can correctly recover from an ill-timed reboot. However, it can also
dynamically replace the existing I2C transfer functions and drive
some/all I2C transfers on the system, which might be useful if a driver
for the actual I2C controller hardware is not (yet) available.
Based on original code by Doug Anderson <dianders@chromium.org> and
Hung-ying Tyan <tyanh@chromium.org> for the ChromeOS embedded
controller project.

TEST=Spread tegra_software_i2c_init()/tegra_software_i2c_disable()
through the code and see that everything still works.
