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:
- use new function _i2c_new_dummy with detailed error codes
v3:
- no changes
v4:
- reflect renaming to __i2c_new_dummy
v5:
- improve readability by adding struct i2c_dummy_devres
v6:
- add braces to function name in documentation
