The Flexcop i2c-interface is not very flexible. You cannot send just a 
single write request with an independent read request following.

The same problematic applies for several USB-I2C requests as we have it in 
dvb-usb at several places.

In addition (see my other mail in that thread), sending two independent 
i2c_transfers which actually belong together is not really safe. (However 
I understand that for most single-receiver boards it is no real problem, 
as long as no one is using this i2c-adapter from user-space at the same 
time.)
