media: dw2102: Don't translate i2c read into write

Browse source

The code ignored the I2C_M_RD flag on I2C messages.  Instead it assumed
an i2c transaction with a single message must be a write operation and a
transaction with two messages would be a read operation.

Though this works for the driver code, it leads to problems once the i2c
device is exposed to code not knowing this convention.  For example,
I did "insmod i2c-dev" and issued read requests from userspace, which
were translated into write requests and destroyed the EEPROM of my
device.

So, just check and respect the I2C_M_READ flag, which indicates a read
when set on a message.  If it is absent, it is a write message.

Incidentally, changing from the case statement to a while loop allows
the code to lift the limitation to two i2c messages per transaction.

There are 4 more *_i2c_transfer functions affected by the same behaviour
and limitation that should be fixed in the same way.
