[RESEND v2 RFC 1/5] i2c: mv64xxx: Clear bus errors before transfer

[Sam Edwards]

The MV64XXX hardware can act as either a bus controller or target
device. In order to protect target devices from a glitching bus
(apparently), the core listens on the lines even when idle and moves the
hardware FSM to the "BUS_ERR" state if an invalid transition is
detected. The hardware then does not exit this state until reset.

This feature is actually counterproductive when using the hardware as a
controller (as this driver does): we do not actually *care* what
happened on the bus previously, as long as it's ready for use when the
new transfer starts. However, the controller will remember a previous
glitch and trip up the driver after it attempts to send the start
command. The driver logs and error and resets the controller, recovering
from the BUS_ERR state, but not without erroring back the transfer with
errno EAGAIN. Clients generally do not handle this gracefully.

This is easily fixed by checking for the BUS_ERR condition upfront and
issuing the hardware reset before beginning the transfer. This patch
does NOT also call i2c_recover_bus(): the assumption is that the bus is
fine, just the hardware is upset; if the bus is also in a bad state,
this should not pass silently.
