    i2c: xiic: improve error message when transfer fails to start
    
    [ Upstream commit ee1691d0ae103ba7fd9439800ef454674fadad27 ]
    
    xiic_start_xfer can fail for different reasons:
    
    - EBUSY: bus is busy or i2c messages still in tx_msg or rx_msg
    - ETIMEDOUT: timed-out trying to clear the RX fifo
    - EINVAL: wrong clock settings
    
    Both EINVAL and ETIMEDOUT will currently print a specific error
    message followed by a generic one, for example:
    
        Failed to clear rx fifo
        Error xiic_start_xfer
    
    however EBUSY will simply output the generic message:
    
        Error xiic_start_xfer
    
    which is not really helpful.
    
    This commit adds a new error message when a busy condition is detected
    and also removes the generic message since it does not provide any
    relevant information to the user.
