[PATCH v5 1/3] i2c: imx: do not poll for bus busy in single master mode

[Stefan Eichenberger]

From: Stefan Eichenberger <stefan.eichenberger at toradex.com>

According to the i.MX8M Mini reference manual chapter "16.1.4.2
Generation of Start" it is only necessary to poll for bus busy and
arbitration lost in multi master mode. This helps to avoid rescheduling
while the i2c bus is busy and avoids SMBus devices to timeout. For
backward compatibility, the single-master property needs to be
explicitly set to disable the bus busy polling.

@Frank and Oleksij: I kept your tags even though I made multi-master the
new default. Let me know if you have any objections.
