Currently each message length in complete transfer is being
checked for determining DMA mode and if any of the message length
is less than FIFO length then non DMA mode is being used which
will increase overhead. DMA can be used for any length and it
should be determined with complete transfer length. Now, this
patch introduces DMA threshold length and the transfer will be
done in DMA mode if the total length is greater than this
threshold length.

The patch is fine. small nit, you can avoid this global dma_threshold. Instead
  have it locally in qup_i2c_xfer_v2 itself.

 Thanks Sricharan.

 The idea for introducing global dma_threshold was to give option
 for controlling the behavior from one place. If someone wants to
 change the length above which dma will be used, then It can be
 controlled from once place in the probe function itself.

 Also, min(qup->out_fifo_sz, qup->in_fifo_sz) requires comparison
 and adding in qup_i2c_xfer_v2 will make this happen everytime.

 Regards,
 Abhishek
