i2c: i801: Fix I2C Block Read on 8-Series/C220 and later
Starting with the 8-Series/C220 PCH (Lynx Point), the SMBus
controller includes a SPD EEPROM protection mechanism. Once the SPD
Write Disable bit is set, only reads are allowed to slave addresses
0x50-0x57.
However the legacy implementation of I2C Block Read since the ICH5
looks like a write, and is therefore blocked by the SPD protection
mechanism. This causes the eeprom and at24 drivers to fail.
So assume that I2C Block Read is implemented as an actual read on
these chipsets. I tested it on my Q87 chipset and it seems to work
just fine.
