Oops, this mismatch dates back to the inital driver code. From the
documentation I would say SMBUS_QUICK is not supported, although nothing
terrible happens in the write case.

I would like to disable SMBUS_QUICK. It never worked for the read case.
Could we break something by disabling the quick-write case or is
the quick-write emulated by a larger write if the feature bit is not
set?
