The i2c-powermac driver doesn't support arbitrary multi-message I2C transactions, only SMBus ones. Make it clear by returning an error if a multi-message I2C transaction is attempted. This is better than only processing the first message, because most callers won't recover from the short transaction. Anyone wishing to issue multi-message transactions should use the SMBus API instead of the raw I2C API.
