Update it in V9

Patch rebase: on Linux v6.11.0-rc6 (89f5e14d05b)

Last week , You suggested that I used this i2c_dw_is_master_idling(dev)

return false;

We reproduce this issue in RTL simulation(About(~1:500) in our soc). It is necessary
to add waiting DW_IC_STATUS_MASTER_ACTIVITY idling before disabling I2C when
I2C transfer completed. as described in the DesignWare
I2C databook(Flowchart for DW_apb_i2c Controller)

Last week , You suggested that I used this i2c_dw_is_master_idling(dev)
keep using i2c_dw_is_master_idling(dev) , Ok?
