i2c doesn't change for the whole loop so that it can be set only
once outside the loop instead of setting it everytime.

Something like this:

	if (i2c->op == I2C_MASTER_WRRD)
		left_num--;
	else if (msgs->flags & I2C_M_RD)
		...
	else

looks cleaner to me and we save the extra flag. Am I missing
anything?
