[PATCH] i2c: designware: use {readl|writel}_relaxed instead of readl/writel

readl/writel is too expensive especially on Cortex A9 w/ outer L2 cache.
This introduces i2c read/write errors on Marvell BG2/BG2Q SoCs when there
are heavy L2 cache maintenance operations at the same time.

The driver does not perform DMA, so it's safe to use the relaxed version.
>From another side, the relaxed io accessor macros are available on all
architectures now, so we can use the relaxed versions instead.
