MFC r323474, r323553, r323691
r323474: Add a default implementation that returns ENODEV for start, repeat_start, stop, read, and write methods. Some controllers don't implement these individual operations and have only a transfer method. In that case, we should return an indication that the device is present but doesn't support the method, as opposed to the kobj default error ENXIO which makes it look like the whole device is missing. Userland tools such as i2c(8) can use the differing return values to switch between the two different i2c IO mechanisms.
r323553: Defer attaching and probing iicbus and its children until interrupts are available, in i2c controller drivers that require interrupts for transfers.
This is the result of auditing all 22 existing drivers that attach iicbus. These drivers were the only ones remaining that require interrupts and were not using config_intrhook to defer attachment. That has led, over the years, to various i2c slave device drivers needing to use config_intrhook themselves rather than performing bus transactions in their probe() and attach() methods, just in case they were attached too early.
r323691: Give icee(4) a detach() method so it can be used as a module. Add a module makefile for it. |

Prevent overflow issues in timeout processing
Previously, any timeout value for which (timeout * hz) will overflow the signed integer, will give weird results, since callout(9) routines will convert negative values of ticks to '1'. For unsigned integer overflow we will get sufficiently smaller timeout values than expected.
Switch from callout_reset, which requires conversion to int based ticks to callout_reset_sbt to avoid this.
Also correct isci to correctly resolve ccb timeout.
This was based on the original work done by Eygene Ryabinkin <rea@freebsd.org> back in 5 Aug 2011 which used a macro to help avoid the overlow.

Extend the meaning of the CTLFLAG_TUN flag to automatically check if there is an environment variable which shall initialize the SYSCTL during early boot. This works for all SYSCTL types both statically and dynamically created ones, except for the SYSCTL NODE type and SYSCTLs which belong to VNETs. A new flag, CTLFLAG_NOFETCH, has been added to be used in the case a tunable sysctl has a custom initialisation function allowing the sysctl to still be marked as a tunable. The kernel SYSCTL API is mostly the same, with a few exceptions for some special operations like iterating childrens of a static/extern SYSCTL node. This operation should probably be made into a factored out common macro, hence some device drivers use this. The reason for changing the SYSCTL API was the need for a SYSCTL parent OID pointer and not only the SYSCTL parent OID list pointer in order to quickly generate the sysctl path. The motivation behind this patch is to avoid parameter loading cludges inside the OFED driver subsystem. Instead of adding special code to the OFED driver subsystem to post-load tunables into dynamically created sysctls, we generalize this in the kernel.
Other changes: - Corrected a possibly incorrect sysctl name from "hw.cbb.intr_mask" to "hw.pcic.intr_mask". - Removed redundant TUNABLE statements throughout the kernel. - Some minor code rewrites in connection to removing not needed TUNABLE statements. - Added a missing SYSCTL_DECL(). - Wrapped two very long lines. - Avoid malloc()/free() inside sysctl string handling, in case it is called to initialize a sysctl from a tunable, hence malloc()/free() is not ready when sysctls from the sysctl dataset are registered. - Bumped FreeBSD version to indicate SYSCTL API change.

Fixed an IIC timing issue between the glxiic master and a slave of peripheral devices. When transmitting (rx) from slave to master, sometimes nAKC delays. As a result, some slaves fails their transmission.
