Slave needs time to prepare the response data before Master could
enquiry via read transaction. However, there is no mechanism for
i2c-aspeed Slave to notify Master that it needs more time to process
and this make Master side to time out when trying to get the response.

This commit introduces the slave_enable() callback in struct
i2c_algorithm for Slave to temporary stop the Slave mode while working
on the response and re-enable the Slave when response data ready.

v5:
  + None

v4:
  + First introduced follow Ryan's suggestion               [Ryan]
  + Fix recursive spinlock issue in v3 (aspeed_set_slave_busy())
  and apply in this patch                                 [Graeme]

Sorry that I couldn't chime in earlier, but NAK!

@Corey: Please do not change this file without my ACK. It is not a
trivial change but an API extenstion and that should really be acked by
the subsystem maintainer, in this case me. I was really surprised to see
this in linux-next already.

@all: Plus, I neither like the API (because it doesn't look generic to
me but mostly handling one issue needed here) nor do I fully understand
the use case. Normally, when a read is requested and the backend needs
time to deliver the data, the hardware should stretch the SCL clock
until some data register is finally written to. If it doesn't do it for
whatever reason, this is a quirky hardware in my book and needs handling
in the driver only. So, what is special with this HW? Can't we solve it
differently?

All the best,

   Wolfram

I am sorry, I'll pull it out.
