When a slave reports an invalid SMBus block count, i2c_dw_read() uses
one extra read to reach STOP. It currently replaces the received count
with 1 for scheduling and also stores 1 in the message buffer. A count
above 32 is therefore exposed as a valid one-byte response.
Keep the received byte in the buffer and limit only the count passed to
i2c_dw_recv_len(). This preserves the extra read for STOP while retaining
the invalid count for the caller to reject.
Fixes: 69f035c480d7 ("i2c: designware: Handle invalid SMBus block data response length value")

The DesignWare receive functions were exercised with stubbed register
input for block counts 1, 32, 33 and 255. Counts 33 and 255 became 1
before the change and remained unchanged after it; both versions
scheduled one extra read for an invalid count. No physical controller,
STOP signal, PEC result or end-to-end SMBus return was measured.
