Subject: [PATCH v6 12/19] i2c: octeon: Faster operation when IFLG signals late

From: Peter Swain <pswain@...ium.com>

Some versions can deliver low-level twsi irq before twsi_ctl.iflg
is set, leading to timeout-driven i/o.
When an irq signals event, but woken task does not see the expected
twsi_ctl.iflg, re-check about 80uS later.

EEPROM reads on 100kHz i2c now measure ~5.2kB/s, about 1/2 what's
achievable, and much better than the worst-case 100 bytes/sec before.
