i2c: Document struct i2c_msg 

Clarify use of the I2C_M_* flags by highlighting the fact that
most of them depend on I2C_FUNC_PROTOCOL_MANGLING.

Also provide kerneldoc for i2c_smbus_read_block_data() and also
for "struct i2c_msg".

/*
* I2C Message - used for pure i2c transaction, also from /dev interface
/**
* struct i2c_msg - an I2C transaction segment beginning with START
* @addr: Slave address, either seven or ten bits. When this is a ten
* bit address, I2C_M_TEN must be set in @flags and the adapter
* must support I2C_FUNC_10BIT_ADDR.
* @flags: I2C_M_RD is handled by all adapters. No other flags may be
* provided unless the adapter exported the relevant I2C_FUNC_*
* flags through i2c_check_functionality().
* @len: Number of data bytes in @buf being read from or written to the
* I2C slave address. For read transactions where I2C_M_RECV_LEN
* is set, the caller guarantees that this buffer can hold up to
* 32 bytes in addition to the initial length byte sent by the
* slave (plus, if used, the SMBus PEC); and this value will be
* incremented by the number of block data bytes received.
* @buf: The buffer into which data is read, or from which it's written.
*
* An i2c_msg is the low level representation of one segment of an I2C
* transaction. It is visible to drivers in the @i2c_transfer() procedure,
* to userspace from i2c-dev, and to I2C adapter drivers through the
* @i2c_adapter.@master_xfer() method.
*
* Except when I2C "protocol mangling" is used, all I2C adapters implement
* the standard rules for I2C transactions. Each transaction begins with a
* START. That is followed by the slave address, and a bit encoding read
* versus write. Then follow all the data bytes, possibly including a byte
* with SMBus PEC. The transfer terminates with a NAK, or when all those
* bytes have been transferred and ACKed. If this is the last message in a
* group, it is followed by a STOP. Otherwise it is followed by the next
* @i2c_msg transaction segment, beginning with a (repeated) START.
*
* Alternatively, when the adapter supports I2C_FUNC_PROTOCOL_MANGLING then
* passing certain @flags may have changed those standard protocol behaviors.
* Those flags are only for use with broken/nonconforming slaves, and with
* adapters which are known to support the specific mangling options they
* need (one or more of IGNORE_NAK, NO_RD_ACK, NOSTART, and REV_DIR_ADDR).
