GSI hardware generates an interrupt for each transfer completion.
For multiple messages within a single transfer, this results in
N interrupts for N messages, leading to significant software
interrupt latency.
To mitigate this latency, utilize Block Event Interrupt (BEI) mechanism.
Enabling BEI instructs the GSI hardware to prevent interrupt generation
and BEI is disabled when an interrupt is necessary.
When using BEI, consider splitting a single multi-message transfer into
chunks of 8 internally. Interrupts are not expected for the first 7 message
completions, only the last message triggers an interrupt,indicating
the completion of 8 messages.
This BEI mechanism enhances overall transfer efficiency.

v3 -> v4:
- API's added for Block event interrupt with multi descriptor support for
I2C is moved from qcom-gpi-dma.h file to I2C geni qcom driver file.
- gpi_multi_xfer_timeout_handler function is moved from GPI driver to
I2C driver.
v2-> v3:
- Renamed gpi_multi_desc_process to gpi_multi_xfer_timeout_handler
- MIN_NUM_OF_MSGS_MULTI_DESC changed from 4 to 2
- Added documentation for newly added changes in "qcom-gpi-dma.h" file
- Updated commit description.
v1 -> v2:
- Changed dma_addr type from array of pointers to array.
- To support BEI functionality with the TRE size of 64 defined in GPI driver,
updated QCOM_GPI_MAX_NUM_MSGS to 16 and NUM_MSGS_PER_IRQ to 4.
