Hi Andi,

Thanks for the review.

This is about the handling of the PECBYTE bit of the I2C_CR2 register
(cf page 1010 of the spec you pointed).  There were no issue in case
of performing SMBUS write (with PEC), however read was not working.
PECBYTE was set from the very beginning of the transaction, but since
SMBUS read is first made of a write transfer, followed by a read transfer,
the PECBYTE was appended to the end of the write transfer (instead of the read
transfer), leading to lose of the last byte of the write transfer.
(in addition to the fact that the PEC byte should NOT be placed at the
end of the write transfer).
(cf Figure 30 of SMBUS specification [1]).

I could add more information within the commit log if you prefer.

Ok,  will remove this blank line within a v2.
