[RFC 0/2] i2c: core and si7020: Add adapter transfer callback

From: Eddie James

This series adds a callback function pointer to be executed after the
adapter performs a transfer. The purpose of such a callback is for a
client to execute some code while "owning" the bus entirely. Holding the
adapter lock is insufficient in the case where the client is behind a
mux, as the mux driver could perform mux selection operations on the
bus while locked. The only use case for now is the SI7020 driver. While
the SI7020 is starting up after power on or reset, any I2C commands on the
bus can potentially upset the startup sequence. Since the SI7020 may be
behind a mux, the driver needs to use the new transfer callback to sleep
while the chip starts up.
