The FT260 is a USB device that implements USB to I2C/UART bridges
through two USB HID class interfaces. The first - for I2C, and the
second for UART. Each interface is independent, and the kernel
detects it as a separate hidraw device.

This commit adds I2C host adapter support, enabling a wide range of
standard userspace tools and applications that do not implement HID
protocol, to access the I2C client devices via FT260 I2C controller.     

The driver was tested with different I2C client devices, Linux
kernels, and Linux userspace tools.

For data transfer, the FT260 implements one Interrupt IN and one
Interrupt OUT pipes per interface. For configuration and control,
the FT260 exposes the HID class commands through the Control pipe.

Commands and responses are FT260 specific and documented in the
AN_394_User_Guide_for_FT260.pdf on the https://www.ftdichip.com.
