This is a documentation change for I2C TPM device support.

Qemu already supports devices attached to ISA and sysbus.
This drop adds support for the I2C bus attached TPM devices.

Signed-off-by: Ninad Palsule <ninad@linux.ibm.com>

---
V2:

Incorporated Stephen's review comments
- Added example in the document.

---
V4:
Incorporate Cedric & Stefan's comments

- Added example for ast2600-evb
- Corrected statement about arm virtual machine.

---
V6:
Incorporated review comments from Stefan.

For testing, use this command to load the driver to the correct address:

echo tpm_tis_i2c 0x2e > /sys/bus/i2c/devices/i2c-12/new_device

(I don't know how specific we want to make the instructions, but
adding a line like above would help others from having to re-discover
the command).

I'd drop this example, the above one is enough.

or/and add an avocado test for it. See tests/avocado/machine_aspeed.py.

The avocado framework is a bit fragile when reading from the console but
we hope to fix that.

I never used it before so it will take little longer.

Is it required to merge this i2c work?

Ok, Thanks. I will continue to check the test frame work and add the 
test in a separate drop.
