    i2c-mlxbf: Add repeated start condition support

    Add support for SMBus repeated start conditions to the Mellanox I2C
    driver. This support is specifically enabled for the
    I2C_FUNC_SMBUS_WRITE_I2C_BLOCK implementation which is required for
    communication with a specific I2C device on BlueField 3.
