teach i2c-mpc to selectively ignore !RXAK errors

On the project I'm working on, the hardware engineers put an I2C
device behind a unidirectional level translator.  When I tried to
write to it, I was getting EIO due to the lack of receiver ack.

This is my hack to support this situation, based off 3.0.6 with a few
minor additions (none of which impact the I2C bits, SFAICT).

There are really two distinct changes here:

1. Change mpc_read and mpc_write to take a generic "flags" argument,
   instead of just passing the message index; and

2. In the very specific case of performing a write when the user has
   specified I2C_M_NO_RD_ACK on a message, do not error out on !RXAK
   condition.

My apologies for not breaking it down, but I don't have the bandwidth
to respin and track this change.  I'm mostly posting it so that other
people can find it if they run into the same issue.

The use of I2C_M_NO_RD_ACK is a bit obscure, but it's barely used in
the kernel, and it makes a certain amount of sense in this context.

Thanks to everyone that's contributed to the PPC Linux stack; it's
made this project (and my current livelihood!) possible.

Best Regards,
Anthony Foiani

Subject: [PATCH] Selectively ignore missing RXAK.

Overload the I2C_M_NO_RD_ACK flag to continue with writes even when
the receiver has not acknowledged.  This was useful when talking to a
part that was electrically isolated such that it could not drive the
bus lines back to the CPU.
