Export the memory accessor to the i2c_client

i2c_clients are *not* intrinsically memory, so adding this to the generic i2c_client structure doesn't really make sense. What would the semantics of this interface be with respect to temperature sensors and GPIO expanders?

NACK.


and implement
it for the at24 driver.

And before you ask, no, the platform callback can't be used
for anything that depends on DT.

Why can't you just allocate (and populate) a struct at24_platform_data for the device if it isn't supplied by whatever created the device?
