Subject: [PATCH v2 10/10] i2c-i801: Only write the host control reg when necessary

From: Corey Minyard <cminyard@...sta.com>

When doing byte-by-byte mode, the code was writing the host
control register on every byte.  However, this is only necessary
on the first byte and for read transactions the last byte.
So only do it those times.
