Subject: [PATCH AUTOSEL 5.4 01/33] i2c: rcar: faster irq code to minimize HW race condition

From: Wolfram Sang <wsa+renesas@...g-engineering.com>

[ Upstream commit c7b514ec979e23a08c411f3d8ed39c7922751422 ]

To avoid the HW race condition on R-Car Gen2 and earlier, we need to
write to ICMCR as soon as possible in the interrupt handler. We can
improve this by writing a static value instead of masking out bits.
