Subject: [PATCH v3 5/5] i2c: rtl9300: Implement I2C block read and write

From: Harshal Gohel <hg@...onwunderlich.de>

It was noticed that the original implementation of SMBus Block Write in the
driver was actually an I2C Block Write. Both differ only in the Count byte
before the actual data:

  S Addr Wr [A] Comm [A] Count [A] Data [A] Data [A] ... [A] Data [A] P

The I2C Block Write is just skipping this Count byte and starts directly
with the data:

  S Addr Wr [A] Comm [A] Data [A] Data [A] ... [A] Data [A] P

The I2C controller of RTL93xx doesn't handle this Count byte special and it
is simply another one of (16 possible) data bytes. Adding support for the
I2C Block Write therefore only requires to skip the count byte (0) in
data->block.

It is similar for reads. The SMBUS Block read is having a Count byte before
the data:

  S Addr Wr [A] Comm [A]
            Sr Addr Rd [A] [Count] A [Data] A [Data] A ... A [Data] NA P

And the I2C Block Read is directly starting with the actual data:

  S Addr Wr [A] Comm [A]
            Sr Addr Rd [A] [Data] A [Data] A ... A [Data] NA P

The I2C controller is also not handling this byte in a special way. It
simply provides every byte after the Rd marker + Ack as part of the 16 byte
receive buffer (registers). The content of this buffer just has to be
copied to the right position in the receive data->block.
