Subject: [PATCH 1/1] i2c: sh_mobile: eliminate a misreported warning

The warning is caused by the branches "if (pd->pos == -1)" and
"if (pd->pos == 0)", because they appear after "real_pos = pd->pos - 2",
so the compiler doesn't known the value of real_pos is negative through
these two branches.

To avoid this warning, eliminate the middleman "data".

drivers/i2c/busses/i2c-sh_mobile.c: In function ‘sh_mobile_i2c_isr’:
drivers/i2c/busses/i2c-sh_mobile.c:396:26: warning: ‘data’ may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wmaybe-uninitialized]
   pd->msg->buf[real_pos] = data;
                          ^
drivers/i2c/busses/i2c-sh_mobile.c:369:16: note: ‘data’ was declared here
  unsigned char data;
