[PATCH linux dev-6.6 v1 3/8] i2c: npcm: correct the read/write operation procedure

From: Tyrone Ting <kfting at nuvoton.com>

Originally the driver uses the XMIT bit in SMBnST register to decide
the upcoming i2c transaction. If XMIT bit is 1, then it will be an i2c
write operation. If it's 0, then a read operation will be executed.

In slave mode the XMIT bit can simply be used directly to set the state.
XMIT bit can be used as an indication to the current state of the state
machine during slave operation. (meaning XMIT = 1 during writing and
XMIT = 0 during reading).

In master operation XMIT is valid only if there are no bus errors.
For example: in a multi master where the same module is switching from
master to slave at runtime, and there are collisions, the XMIT bit
cannot be trusted.

However the maser already "knows" what the bus state is, so this bit
is not needed and the driver can just track what it is currently doing.
