Actually, reads with >32 bytes of data are possible with the controller. The 
hw returns the data in 32 byte chunks. Our chunk handling code is just buggy. 
We always read the number of missing bytes from the current chunk, instead of 
truncating that to 32.
The fix is correct. The following lines in the rk3x_i2c_handle_read() function 
already check if we got everything and trigger an additional chunk read if 
necessary:

	/* are we finished? */
	if (i2c->processed == i2c->msg->len)
		rk3x_i2c_stop(i2c, i2c->error);
	else
		rk3x_i2c_prepare_read(i2c);

I'd like a clearer syntax as suggested by Sergei, though.
