Since I realised it is more readable and reduces likeliness of
duplicated includes.

OK. I'd think it at least makes sense to use error codes which
distinguish I2C bus errors from OPAL interface errors. Always using -EIO
seems very generic :)

Understood. So, basically something like I2C_SMBUS_WORD_I2C_BLOCK_DATA
is missing where the 'command' argument is not u8 but u16? Brainstorming
here, not relevant for this driver now.

New? :D This would be a dead simple exercise to learn about it ;)

But the SoC vendors prefix it with their company name and add
documentation for the binding.
Furthermore, this is just wrong, too. The adapter name is the name of
the IP core or chip or whatever which does the I2C bus. It is not the
functional name of the bus. It should be plain "Opal I2C" or similar.
