i2c: imx: fix the i2c bus hang issue when do repeat restart

Test i2c device Maxim max44009, datasheet is located at:
http://www.maximintegrated.com/datasheet/index.mvp/id/7175



The max44009 support repeat operation like:
read -> repeat restart -> read/write

The current i2c imx host controller driver don't support this
operation that causes i2c bus hang due to "MTX" is cleared in
.i2c_imx_read(). If "read" is the last message there have no problem,
so the current driver supports all SMbus operation like:
write -> repeat restart -> read/write

IMX i2c controller for master receiver has some limitation:
- If it is the last byte for one operation, it must generate STOP
  signal before read I2DR to prevent controller from generating another
  clock cycle.
- If it is the last byte in the read, and then do repeat restart, it must
  set "MTX" before read I2DR to prevent controller from generating another
  extra clock cycle.

The patch is to fix the issue.
