Subject: [PATCH v2 5/6] i2c: tegra: Rename I2C_PIO_MODE_MAX_LEN to I2C_PIO_MODE_PREFERRED_LEN

DMA is preferred for a larger transfers, while PIO is preferred for a
smaller transfers to avoid unnecessary DMA overhead. There is no strict
size limitations for the PIO-mode transfers, so let's rename the constant
for clarity.
