2.6 Patch for AMD MIPS Alchemy au1550 I2C interface I2C

[Chris David <cd@chrisdavid.com>]

Hello,

Please CC me on replies.

Here is a trivial patch to fix a "mis-used register" problem on the
AMD MIPS Alchemy au1550 I2C interface.  

In summary, The programmable serial controller seem to hang the kernel
when I sent a single an 'address' byte on the I2C bus.  The patch
essentially uses the PSC_SMBSTAT register's TE (transmit FIFO empty)
bit to check when the transmit FIFO is empty, instead of using the
PSC_SMBEVNT register's TU (transmit underflow) bit.  Using the TE bit
fixed the hang problem.

I tested this on kernel 2.6.16, and confirmed the patch updates the
2.6.22 kernel correctly.  If someone else can test this, that would be
great.  And I think it should be included in the kernel.

Again, please CC me on replies.

Thanks,

-Chris
