i2c: xlp9xx: Fix case where SSIF read transaction completes early
During ipmi stress tests we see occasional failure of transactions
at the boot time. This happens in the case of a I2C_M_RECV_LEN
transactions, when the read transfer completes (with the initial
read length of 34) before the driver gets a chance to handle interrupts.
[Test]
Use ipmitool to generate a lot of data read, run multiple instances of the
following test:
for i in {1..200}; do sudo ipmitool sel list ; sudo ipmitool sensor list ;
sudo ipmitool sdr list ; sudo ipmitool sel list ; done
[Fix]
Following upstream patch fixes this issue:

i2c: xlp9xx: Fix case where SSIF read transaction completes early
[Regression Risk]
The fix is to the i2c-xlp9xx driver, and does not impact any platform code.
Risk of regression is low.
