But how do you know it's an unsupported operation, and not the driver knowing the wacky limitations doing something valid. E.g. you get the sequence: 0x01 0x0a 0x0b 0x0c 0x0d This could be interpreted as "send the above bytes to the slave" or as "send 0x0a to address 0x01, 0x0b to 0x02, 0x0c to 0x03 and 0x0d to 0x04" (at least by this driver ;-) . The latter could be intended. > ...possibly a better long-term solution is to just totally stop > emulating a regular i2c adapter when the hardware just doesn't support > that.
