[PATCH 1/2] i2c: imx-lpi2c: fix SMBus block read with PEC

If PEC is enabled, the I2C core sets msgs->len to 2 instead of 1. The
length calculation for the second receive command assumes it's always
1. This will lead to a short read and eventually a timeout because the
PEC byte is never received.

Take msgs->len into account when calculating the remaining bytes.

This was tested on a board which uses an IPMI SSIF BMC.
