[PATCH v3 2/2] i2c: cadence: Check for errata condition involving master receive

[Harini Katakam]

Cadence I2C controller has the following bugs:
- completion indication is not given to the driver at the end of
a read/receive transfer with HOLD bit set.
- Invalid read transaction are generated on the bus when HW timeout
condition occurs with HOLD bit set.

As a result of the above, if a set of messages to be transferred with
repeated start includes any transfer following a read transfer,
completion is never indicated and timeout occurs.
Hence a check is implemented to return -EOPNOTSUPP for such sequences.

v3:
Add warning in case of unsupported transfer.

v2:
Dont defeteature repeated start. Just check for unsupported conditions in the
driver and return error.
