[RFC Patch v4 1/1] i2c debug counters as sysfs attributes

Hi Sui

I am not sure that there is a standard that returning -ENXIO means
always NACK, and I am not sure that there are no other cases where we
return -ENXIO which is not NACK, unless you are asking for local
modification that will not be upstreamed.

Also you can know the per-address counters via the 'adap' stract you
use for transfer.

Thanks,
Avi
