Currently i2c_new_device and i2c_new_dummy return just NULL in error
case although they have more error details internally. Therefore move
the functionality into new functions returning detailed errors and
add wrappers for compatibility with the current API.

This allows to use these functions with detailed error codes within
the i2c core or for API extensions.

As mentioned in 2/3, the _errptr suffix here feels a bit
'hungarian-notation', but I can see how we would want a good clear
distinction between the two types, otherwise we might see people adding
code that checks for ERR_PTR() using the non-errptr functions.

Perhaps that's not really an issue if it's caught by review, or
coccinelle though.


Aside from the function-name-bike-shedding which can be handled as you
wished/discussed in 2/3, and one small grammatical fix in a comment below:
