i2c_new_dummy is typically called from the probe function of the
driver for the primary i2c client. It requires calls to
i2c_unregister_device in the error path of the probe function and
in the remove function.
This can be simplified by introducing a device-managed version.
Note the changed error case return value type:
i2c_new_dummy returns NULL whilst devm_new_i2c_dummy returns an ERR_PTR.

v2:
- added entry to Documentation/driver-model/devres.txt
- extended documentation of new function
- changed return value type to an ERR_PTR in case of error
