[PATCH v2 2/2] dt-bindings: i2c: Update documentation for "mv78230-a0-i2c"

This commit modifies the documentation for
"marvell,mv78230-a0-i2c" compatible string.

The "marvell,mv78230-a0-i2c" compatible string enables the workaround
for an i2c repeated start timing violation, but unlike
"marvell,mv78230-i2c" it disables the i2c offload support. This is
applicable to a number of SoCs such as early revisions of the Armada XP
and the Armada 38x.
