I'd prefer the latter. Being called "core" is unfortunate and I
did think about that. i2c-microchip-corei2c would have been my
first choice but I thought the double usage of i2c would've been
disapproved of haha

Nope!

Not specifically SMBUS_QUICK, but I did test with hardware
that uses "zero-length" messages.

And nor did we in any prior version (pre-list).
I am just going to remove it.

Sure.

Thanks for the review :)
