[BUG] ls1046a: eDMA does not transfer data from I2C

Hi all,

I discovered a bug in either imx_i2c or fsl-edma on the LS1046A where no
data is read in i2c_imx_dma_read except for the last two bytes (which
are not read using DMA). This is perhaps best illustrated with the
following example:

(patch with my debug prints appended below)

Despite the DMA completing successfully, no data was copied into the
buffer, leaving the original (now junk) contents. I probed the I2C bus
with an oscilloscope, and I verified that the transfer did indeed occur.
The timing between submission and completion seems reasonable for the
bus speed (50 kHz for whatever reason).

I had a look over the I2C driver, and nothing looked obviously
incorrect. If anyone has ideas on what to try, I'm more than willing.
