commit 0c9d2eb5e94792fe64019008a04d4df5e57625af upstream. The SMBus I2C buses have limits on the size of transfers they can do but do not factor in the register length meaning we may try to do a transfer longer than our length limit, the core will not take care of this. Future changes will factor this out into the core but there are a number of users that assume current behaviour so let's just do something conservative here. This does not take account padding bits but practically speaking these are very rarely if ever used on I2C buses given that they generally run slowly enough to mean there's no issue.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
