i2c: testunit: improve documentation
Mention that new CMDs will be NACKed while the old one is still on-going, that the I2C address parameter of READ_BYTES is 7 bit only, and reword one paragraph to be more precise. Signed-off-by: Wolfram Sang <wsa+renesas@sang-engineering.com> Signed-off-by: Wolfram Sang <wsa@kernel.org>
