This fixes a race condition, where the DMAEN bit ends up being set after
I2C slave has transmitted a byte following the dummy read.  When that
happens, an interrupt is generated instead, and no DMA request is generated
to kickstart the DMA read, and a timeout happens after DMA_TIMEOUT (1 sec).

Fixed by setting the DMAEN bit before the dummy read.

Does this fix the problem or just narrow the race window?

Best regards

It should fix the problem.
