i2c: Revert "i2c: xiic: Do not reset controller before every transfer"

Commit d701667b ("i2c: xiic: Do not reset controller before every
transfer") removed the reinitialization of the controller before the start
of each transfer. Apparently this change is not safe to make and the commit
results in random I2C bus failures.

An easy way to trigger the issue is to run i2cdetect.

Without the patch applied:
     0  1  2  3  4  5  6  7  8  9  a  b  c  d  e  f
	 00:          -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --
	 10: -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --
	 20: -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --
	 30: -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- UU UU -- UU 3c -- -- UU
	 40: -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --
	 50: -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --
	 60: -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --
	 70: -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --

With the patch applied every other or so invocation:
     0  1  2  3  4  5  6  7  8  9  a  b  c  d  e  f
	 00:          03 04 05 06 07 08 09 0a 0b 0c 0d 0e 0f
	 10: 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 1a 1b 1c 1d 1e 1f
	 20: 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 2a 2b 2c 2d 2e 2f
	 30: -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- UU UU -- UU 3c -- -- UU
	 40: -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --
	 50: -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --
	 60: -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --
	 70: -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --

So revert the commit for now.
