i2c: Mention functionality flags in SMBus protocol documentation
While the mapping between I2C adapter functionality flags and i2c_smbus_*() helper functions is rather obvious, let's still document it for clarity. Also drop the reference to 2 command byte I2C block reads, there is no support for that in the kernel at the moment. Signed-off-by: Jean Delvare <khali@linux-fr.org>
