[PATCH 7/8] i2c: add 'transferred' field to struct i2c_msg

From: Shubhrajyoti D <shubhrajyoti at ti.com>

In case of a NACK, it's wise to tell our clients
drivers about how many bytes were actually transferred.

Support this by adding an extra field to the struct
i2c_msg which gets incremented the amount of bytes
actually transferred.
