An ATR is a device that looks similar to an i2c-mux: it has an I2C
slave "upstream" port and N master "downstream" ports, and forwards
transactions from upstream to the appropriate downstream port. But it
is different in that the forwarded transaction has a different slave
address. The address used on the upstream bus is called the "alias"
and is (potentially) different from the physical slave address of the
downstream chip.

Add a helper file (just like i2c-mux.c for a mux or switch) to allow
implementing ATR features in a device driver. The helper takes care or
adapter creation/destruction and translates addresses at each transaction.

This looks good to me. Dunno if the DT folks want the binding as a
seperate patch, but this is good to go as far as I am concerned.

Ah, right. I'll resend with the DT bindings separate.

Also, looks like I forgot to remove the namespaces for export symbols.
