[PATCH 1/2] i2c: mux: pca9541: add delayed-release support

For heavily-utilized i2c busses, the overhead of reacquiring bus
ownership on every transaction can be quite substantial.  By delaying
the release of the bus (in anticipation of another transaction needing
to re-acquire ownership in the near future), we can reduce the
overhead significantly -- a subsequent transaction that arrives within
the delay window can merely verify that we still own it.

The new "release-delay-us" DT property specifies a number of
microseconds to wait after a transaction before releasing the bus
(zero by default so as to preserve the existing behavior of releasing
it immediately).
