drm/i915/intel_i2c: use INDEX cycles for i2c read transactions
It is very common for an i2c device to require a small 1 or 2 byte write
followed by a read. For example, when reading from an i2c EEPROM it is
common to write and address, offset or index followed by a reading some
values.
The i915 gmbus controller provides a special "INDEX" cycle for performing
such a small write followed by a read. The INDEX can be either one or two
bytes long. The advantage of using such a cycle is that the CPU has
slightly less work to do once the read with INDEX cycle is started.
