Subject: [PATCH 3/4] i2c: omap: don't reset controller if Arbitration Lost detected

Arbitration Lost is a expected situation in a multimaster environment.
IP correctly detect it.

The only reason for reseting IP in the AL case is to be sure to
avoid advisory 1.94 (omap3) and errata i595 (omap4):
"I2C: After an Arbitration is Lost the Module Incorrectly Starts
the Next Transfer" with workaround: "The MST and STT bits inside
I2C_CON should be set to 1 at the same moment (avoid setting the
MST bit to 1 while STT = 0)."

The driver never writes MST and STT bits separately and doesn't
create condition for errata. So the reset is not necessary.

Tested on Beagleboard XM C.
