Removed I2CS bmSTOP "bus reset" from bcm4500_boot() and debug modes.
Sending STOP with no active transaction puts the FX2 I2C controller
into an inconsistent state where subsequent START+ACK detection fails.
Root cause identified through incremental debug modes (wValue 0x80-0x85)
on live hardware: mode 0x82 (with bmSTOP) fails, mode 0x85 (identical
but without bmSTOP) succeeds. Raw I2C reads confirm BCM4500 is alive
the entire time -- only the controller state is corrupted.
BCM4500 now boots successfully in ~90ms. Three I2C devices found on
bus: 0x08 (BCM4500), 0x10 (tuner/LNB), 0x51 (EEPROM).
