[PATCH] i2c: rk3x: Do not dispatch stale pending bits after a NAK

[Alexey Charkov]

A read that gets NAKed raises NAKRCV alongside the spurious START flag
which the controller sets on every read. The NAK branch acks NAKRCV and
calls rk3x_i2c_stop(), moving the state to STATE_STOP, but the leftover
START bit survives the REG_INT_ALL mask, so the state machine below runs
once more and dispatches it into rk3x_i2c_handle_stop().

That path finds no STOP bit, reports a bogus "unexpected irq in STOP",
replaces -ENXIO with -EIO and calls rk3x_i2c_clean_ipd(), which clears
the pending bit of the STOP that rk3x_i2c_stop() has just started. The
completion interrupt is lost, so the transfer only ends when the 1s
timeout expires, holding the adapter lock and stalling every other client
on the bus.

Return from the handler once the NAK has been acted upon.
