Add iic_is_compatible() for matching I2C devices

When using device trees, the ia_name field of struct i2c_attach_args
points to the first string of the device node's "compatible" array.
However, in many cases it would be preferable to use the last, most
general "compatible" entry as a device matching criterion.

Enable more flexible device matching by permitting ia_name to point to
the raw "compatible" data which is a concatenation of NUL-terminated
strings. I2C bus code will supply the data and set ia_name and
ia_namelen. I2C device drivers will use iic_is_compatible() to check
matches. This method is also backwards compatible with the old, direct
use of ia_name.
