[PATCH 2/2] i2c: mv64xxx: Fix bus hang on A0 version of the Armada XP SoCs

The first variants of Armada XP SoCs (A0 stepping) have issues related
to the i2c controller which prevent to use the offload mechanism and
lead to a kernel hang during boot.

The driver now check the revision of the SoC. If the revision is not
more recent than the A0 or if the driver can't get the SoC revision
then it disables the offload mechanism.
