Much appreciated!
I will add your tested-by in the second version of the patchset.

We use the FT260_FLAG_START_REPEATED to precede the Read message following
the Write message in the i2c combined transaction. Am I missing any i2c
protocol case using the Repeated Start in the Write path?

The FT260_FLAG_NONE should not be passed into the ft20_i2c_write as well.

So, we can keep it simple.
