i2c: rtl9300: separate xfer configuration and execution

So far, the rtl9300_i2c_smbus_xfer code is quite a mess with function
calls distributed over the whole function setting different values in
different cases. Calls to rtl9300_i2c_config_xfer and
rtl9300_i2c_reg_addr_set are used in every case-block with varying
values whose meaning is not instantly obvious. In some cases, there are
additional calls within these case-blocks doing more things.

This is in general a bad design and especially really bad for
readability and maintainability because it distributes changes or
issues to multiple locations due to the same function being called with
different hardcoded values in different places.

To have a good structure, setting different parameters based on the
desired operation should not be interleaved with applying these
parameters to the hardware registers. Or in different words, the
parameter site should be mixed with the call site.

Thus, separate configuration and execution of an SMBus xfer within
rtl9300_i2c_smbus_xfer to improve readability and maintainability. Add a
new 'struct rtl9300_i2c_xfer' to carry the required parameters for an
xfer which are configured based on the input parameters within a single
switch-case block, without having any function calls within this block.

The function calls to actually apply these values to the hardware
registers then appear below in a single place and just operate on the
passed instance of 'struct rtl9300_i2c_xfer'. These are
'rtl9300_i2c_prepare_xfer' which combines applying all parameters of the
xfer to the corresponding register, and 'rtl9300_i2c_do_xfer' which
actually executes the xfer and does post-processing if needed.
