This fixes MAL (arbitration lost) bug caused by illegal use of
RSTA (repeated START) after STOP condition generated after last byte
of reads. With this patch, it is possible to do an i2c_transfer() with
additional i2c_msg's following the I2C_M_RD messages.

It still needs to be resolved if it is possible to fix this issue
by removing the STOP condition after reads in a robust way.
