Maybe just pass NULL and let buggy implementations explode?

This will abort the current message, but it'll keep going and try to
tranfer the next message. We need to abort the entire thing and proceed
to generate the i2c STOP.

Also you're now reusing the msg and expecting .transfer() to not clobber
any of the fields (apart from msg.reply). Hmm, actually the retry loop
in drm_dp_i2c_do_msg() already requires such a contract between the
caller and the callee. As we can't make the msg const due to msg.reply,
it would be nice if the documentation mentioned this somewhat important
detail.

Another chance to make buggy drivers explode ;)
