Hi,

looks mostly good. I just found this comment which needs clarification:

> +	/*

> +	 * 2 messages.

Have you really checked ALL of the upper layers? And even if so, there
is the dev-interface to userspace which allows for arbitrary I2C
transfers using I2C_RDWR.

What kind of HW limitation do you mean here? Can Mellanox send more than
two messages?

> Max size of transfer is o more than 20B

"is o more"? Typo?

> +	 * in current x86 LPCI2C bridge.

What does that mean in result?

Regards,

   Wolfram
