Transferring multiple messages via XIIC suffers from strange interaction
between the interrupt status/enable register flags. These flags are being
reused in the hardware to indicate different things for read and write
transfer, and doing multiple transactions becomes horribly complex. Just
send a single transaction and reload the controller with another message
once the transaction is done in the interrupt handler thread.

Do we still get a repeated start between messages of a transfer? Or will
it be a STOP/START combination?

Happy hacking,

Repeated start.

Good. That was my high level question. I'll leave the rest of the review
then for Michal.

Can remove the definition of unused variable ("first").

This patch is much needed to simplify the logic. Tested, working fine.

I have read all reviews in this thread and there should be update on 4/5
and discussion around 2/5 is not done.
That's why please send 1/3/4/5 as v2 and 2/5 separately to deal with
this separately.

Thanks,
Michal
