i2c: core: Add support for best effort block read emulation
There are devices that need to handle block transactions
regardless of the capabilities exported by the adapter.
For performance reasons, they need to use i2c read blocks
if available, otherwise emulate the block transaction with word
or byte transactions.
Add support for a helper function that would read a data block
using the best transfer available: I2C_FUNC_SMBUS_READ_I2C_BLOCK,
I2C_FUNC_SMBUS_READ_WORD_DATA or I2C_FUNC_SMBUS_READ_BYTE_DATA.

+ * @client: Handle to slave device
+ * @command: Byte interpreted by slave
+ * @length: Size of data block; SMBus allows at most I2C_SMBUS_BLOCK_MAX bytes
+ * @values: Byte array into which data will be read; big enough to hold
+ * the data returned by the slave. SMBus allows at most
+ * I2C_SMBUS_BLOCK_MAX bytes.
+ *
+ * This executes the SMBus "block read" protocol if supported by the adapter.
+ * If block read is not supported, it emulates it using either word or byte
+ * read protocols depending on availability.
+ *
+ * The addresses of the I2C slave device that are accessed with this function
+ * must be mapped to a linear region, so that a block read will have the same
+ * effect as a byte read. Before using this function you must double-check
+ * if the I2C slave does support exchanging a block transfer with a byte
+ * transfer.
