Great job.

Your contribution to the implementation of transactions that are longer than 
the hardware buffers is very important. I wrote this code as a theoretical 
exercise, as I never had access to an i2c slave which requires long 
transactions. So I'm not surprised to find out that this code was broken.

For all these patches except no. 7 (Set a clock name to DesignWare I2C clock 
source) and no. 16 (Add I2C_FUNC_SMBUS_* bits) you have my
