During SMBus block data read process, we have seen high interrupt rate because of TX_EMPTY irq status while waiting for block length byte (the first data byte after the address phase). The interrupt handler does not do anything because the internal state is kept as STATUS_WRITE_IN_PROGRESS. Hence, we should disable TX_EMPTY irq until I2C DW receives first data byte from I2C device, then re-enable it.

It takes 0.789 ms for host to receive data length from slave. Without the patch, i2c_dw_isr is called 99 times by TX_EMPTY interrupt. And it is none after applying the patch.
