i2c: update i2c_algorithm documentation
Add some kerneldoc style documentaton to the i2c_algorithm structure, and point the master_xfer return codes at the right place in Documentation/i2c/fault_codes Signed-off-by: Ben Dooks <ben.dooks@codethink.co.uk> Signed-off-by: Wolfram Sang <wsa@the-dreams.de>
