Fixed these checkpatch warnings:

WARNING: 'transfered' may be misspelled - perhaps 'transferred'?
#111: FILE: drivers/i2c/busses/i2c-ocores.c:306:
+		 * We wait for the data to be transfered (8bit),

CHECK: Please don't use multiple blank lines
#129: FILE: drivers/i2c/busses/i2c-ocores.c:324:
+
+

WARNING: 'transfered' may be misspelled - perhaps 'transferred'?
#154: FILE: drivers/i2c/busses/i2c-ocores.c:349:
+			break; /* all messages have been transfered */

and applied to for-next, thanks!
