    commit 1d7afc95 (i2c: omap: ack IRQ in parts)
    changed the interrupt handler to complete transfers without clearing
    XRDY (AL case) and ARDY (NACK case) flags. XRDY or ARDY interrupts will be
    fired again. As a result, ISR keep processing transfer after it was already
    complete (from the driver code point of view).
    
    A didn't see real impacts of the 1d7afc95, but it is really bad idea to
    have ISR running on user data after transfer was complete.
    
    It looks, what 1d7afc95 violate TI specs in what how AL and NACK should be
    handled (see Note 1, sprugn4r, Figure 17-31 and Figure 17-32).
    
    According to specs (if I understood correctly), in case of NACK and AL driver
    must reset NACK, AL, ARDY, RDR, and RRDY (Master Receive Mode), and
    NACK, AL, ARDY, and XDR (Master Transmitter Mode).
    
    All that is done down the code under the if condition:
    if (stat & (OMAP_I2C_STAT_ARDY | OMAP_I2C_STAT_NACK | OMAP_I2C_STAT_AL)) ...
    
    The patch restore pre 1d7afc95 logic of handling NACK and AL interrupts, so
    no interrupts is fired after ISR informs the rest of driver what transfer
    complete.
    
    Note: instead of removing break under NACK case, we could just replace 'break'
    with 'continue' and allow NACK transfer to finish using ARDY event. I found
    that NACK and ARDY bits usually set together. That case confirm TI wiki:
    http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/I2C_Tips#Detecting_and_handling_NACK
    
    In order if someone interested in the event traces for NACK and AL cases,
    I sent them to mailing list.
    
    Tested on Beagleboard XM C.
