It should be incremented in both I2C_SLAVE_WRITE_REQUESTED and
I2C_SLAVE_WRITE_RECEIVED cases because in both cases it is reading
valid bytes from rx fifo.

To process more data with a single interrupt we are batching up rx fifo reads.
This will reduce the number of interrupts.

Also to avoid tasklet running more time (20us) we have a threshold of
10 bytes for batching read.
This is a better/optimised approach than reading single byte data per interrupt.

tasklets have higher priority than threaded irq, since i2c is time
sensitive so using a tasklet is preferred over threaded irq.
