[PATCH V2 1/4] i2c: Add irq_gpio field to struct i2c_client.

Some devices use a single pin as both an IRQ and a GPIO. In that case,
irq_gpio is the GPIO ID for that pin. Not all drivers use this feature.
Where they do, and the use of this feature is optional, and the system
wishes to disable this feature, this field must be explicitly set to a
defined invalid GPIO ID, such as -1.

v2: This patch is new. This updated series based on Arnd's comments that
this solution was a good idea.

Note that I leave on vacation for 2 weeks starting Friday afternoon. I
may have some email capabilities during this time, but will certainly be
slow to respond.
