i2c-i801: Check and return errors during byte-by-byte transfers
If an error is detected in the polling loop, abort the transaction and return an error code. * DEV_ERR is set if the device does not respond with an acknowledge, and the SMBus controller times out (minimum 25ms). * BUS_ERR is set if a bus arbitration collision is detected. In other words, when the SMBus controller tries to generate a START condition, but detects that the SMBDATA is being held low, usually by another SMBus/I2C master. * FAILED is only set if a transaction is stopped by software (using the SMBHSTCNT KILL bit).
