SubjectRe: [PATCH V7 3/6] i2c: qup: Transfer each i2c_msg in i2c_msgs without a stop bit

OK, now this looks to me perfectly fine: A number of *messages*
concatenated into one *transfer* by repeated start. That's the way it
should be.

So, I'd simply remove these words:

"The QUP i2c hardware has no way to inform that there should not be a
'STOP' at the end of transaction. The only way to implement this is to
coalesce all the i2c_msg in i2c_msgs in to one transaction and transfer
them."

This sounded like the HW needed a special handling, so I was under the
impression REP_START was broken. However, unless I misunderstood
something again, this now sounds like the standard case and we can keep
the commit message simple. If you are okay with that, I can update it
here, no need to resend.

Thanks,

Wolfram
