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