[PATCH] i2c-taos-evm: Switch echo off to improve performance

[PATCH] i2c-taos-evm: Switch echo off to improve performance

[Jean Delvare]

When echo is on, we waste time reading back our orders. Switching echo
off makes performance much better: SMBus byte data transactions are 47%
faster and byte transactions are 24% faster.

If anyone else is using a TAOS EVM on serial port, please let me know
if this patch cause any trouble for you.
