This function looks very similar to the original xiic_fill_tx_fifo. The
only difference is that it does not decrease the len in case of
repeated_start (btw, why?), and it does not set the DYN_STOP bit. But
this could be done conditionally based on i2c->dynamic, instead. No need
for this duplication, in my opinion.

Do we really want to write 255 to RFD if msg->len == 0? That will set
the compare value in the RX_FIFO_PIRQ register to max value (15) but I
don't understand why we would like to do this.
Also, bits 31:4 are reserved so I think we should not try to touch them.

Again, do we really want to write 255 to RFD if msg->len == 0?

When reviewing this patch, I tried to understand how the controller
knows if it should work in dynamic or in stanard mode. My understanding
is that in order to start the dynamic mode logic, we have to set the
DYN_START bit in the TX FIFO when we write an address there. Is this
correct? But we don't do that if I2C_M_NOSTART flag is set so how is
this supposed to work with this flag? I mean, does the controller really
supports doing I2C_M_NOSTART in dynamic mode?

Or does it support it at all? After all, when we skip this, we will
still write to the TX_FIFO register 5 lines below. How is the controller
supposed to know that the len that we write there is *not* actually an
address?

That being said, we do not annouce the I2C_FUNC_NOSTART support so maybe
we should not care at all and just remove the code handling the
I2C_M_NOSTART flag?

Again, do we really want to write 255 to RFD if msg->len == 0?
