4294e32040 NFC: st21nfcb: Fix improper management of -EREMOTEIO error code.
On st21nfcb the irq line might be kept to active state because of other
interfaces activity. This may generate i2c read tentative resulting in
i2c NACK.

This fix will currently let NDLC upper layer to decide when it is relevent
to signal to the physical layer when the chip as muted.

35630df68d NFC: st21nfcb: Add driver for STMicroelectronics ST21NFCB NFC chip
Add driver for STMicroelectronics ST21NFCB NFC controller.
ST21NFCB is using NCI protocol and a proprietary low level transport
protocol called NDLC used on top.

NDLC:
The protocol defines 2 types of frame:
- One type carrying NCI data (referred as DATAFRAME frames).
- One type carrying protocol information used for flow control and error
control mechanisms (referred as SUPERVISOR frames).

After each frame transmission to the NFC controller, the device host
SHALL waitfor  an ACK (SUPERVISOR frame) reception before sending a
new frame.
The NFC controller MAY send a frame at anytime to the device host.
The NFC controller MAY send a specific WAIT supervisor frame to indicate
to device host that a NCI data packet has been received but that it could
take significant time before the NFC controller sends an ACK and thus
allows next data reception.
