Subject: i2c: mv64xxx: really allow I2C offloading

From: Hezi Shahmoon <[email protected]>

commit 0729a04977d497cf66234fd7f900ddcec3ef1c52 upstream.

Commit 00d8689b85a7 ("i2c: mv64xxx: rework offload support to fix several problems") completely reworked the offload support, but left a debugging-related "return false" at the beginning of the mv64xxx_i2c_can_offload() function. This has the unfortunate consequence that offloading is in fact never used, which wasn't really the intention.

This commit fixes that problem by removing the bogus "return false".

Fixes 00d8689b85a7 ("i2c: mv64xxx: rework offload support to fix several problems")
[Thomas: reworked commit log and title.]
