Subject: i2c: designware: always clear interrupts before enabling them

commit 2a2d95e9d6d29e726cc294b65391917ed2e32bf4 upstream.

If the I2C bus is put to a low power state by an ACPI method it might pull
the SDA line low (as its power is removed). Once the bus is put to full
power state again, the SDA line is pulled back to high. This transition
looks like a STOP condition from the controller point-of-view which sets
STOP detected bit in its status register causing the driver to fail
subsequent transfers.

Fix this by always clearing all interrupts before we start a transfer.
