Hi Nikita,

Writing zero into I2Ci.I2C_CNT register causes random I2C failures in OMAP3
based devices. This seems to be related to the following advisory which
apears in multiple erratas for OMAP3 SoCs (OMAP35xx, DM37xx), as well as
OMAP4430 TRM:

Advisory:
I2C Module Does Not Allow 0-Byte Data Requests
Details:
When configured as the master, the I2C module does not allow 0-byte data
transfers. Note: Programming I2Ci.I2C_CNT[15:0]: DCOUNT = 0 will cause
undefined behavior.
Workaround(s):
No workaround. Do not use 0-byte data requests.

The writes in question are unnecessary from a functional point of view.
Most of them are done after I/O has finished, and the only one that preceds
I/O (in i2c_probe()) is also unnecessary because a stop bit is sent before
actual data transmission takes place.

Therefore, remove all writes that zero the cnt register.

Changes in V2:  
        Removed all instances of writew(0, &i2c_base->cnt) instead of just the
        one in i2c_write (following a test of V1 by Thomas Petazzoni).


Tested-by: Lubomir Popov <lpo...@mm-sol.com>

In addition to the OMAP5430/32 tests performed last week, tested today
on OMAP4 (4430/60/70) and on AM3359. Thus tests have covered OMAP4/5-
compatible I2C IPs with revnb_lo=[0x000a to 0x000c] (revnb_hi is 0x5040
for all those IPs).
