Previously, the address was stored w/o that shift and with that shift
in the following call to npcm_i2c_master_start_xmit,
just like what https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/drivers/i2c/busses/i2c-npcm7xx.c#L2043
shows.

Since there are cases that the i2c_recover_bus gets called at the
early stage of the function npcm_i2c_master_xfer,
the address is stored with the shift and used in the i2c_recover_bus call.
