arm: omap: i2c: don't zero cnt in i2c_write


Writing zero into I2Ci.I2C_CNT register causes random I2C failures in OMAP3
based devices. This seems to be related to the following advisory which
apears in multiple erratas for OMAP3 SoCs (OMAP35xx, DM37xx), as well as
OMAP4430 TRM:

Advisory:
I2C Module Does Not Allow 0-Byte Data Requests
Details:
When configured as the master, the I2C module does not allow 0-byte data
transfers. Note: Programming I2Ci.I2C_CNT[15:0]: DCOUNT = 0 will cause
undefined behavior.
Workaround(s):
No workaround. Do not use 0-byte data requests.

The writes in question are unnecessary from a functional point of view.
Most of them are done after I/O has finished, and the only one that preceds
I/O (in i2c_probe()) is also unnecessary because a stop bit is sent before
actual data transmission takes place.

Therefore, remove all writes that zero the cnt register.
