Previously, the at24 driver would bail out in the case of a 16-bit
addressable EEPROM attached to an SMBus controller. This is because
SMBus block reads and writes don't map to I2C multi-byte reads and
writes when the offset portion is 2 bytes.
Instead of bailing out, this patch settles for functioning with single
byte read SMBus cycles. Writes can be block or single-byte, depending
on SMBus controller features.
Read access is not without some risk. Multiple SMBus cycles are
required to read even one byte. If the SMBus has multiple masters and
one accesses this EEPROM between the dummy address write and the
subsequent current-address-read cycle(s), this driver will receive
data from the wrong address.
Functionality has been tested with the following devices:
AT24CM01 attached to Intel ISCH SMBus
AT24C512 attached to Intel I801 SMBus
Read performance:
3.6 KB/s with 32-byte* access
*limited to 32-bytes by I2C_SMBUS_BLOCK_MAX.
Write performance:
248 B/s with 1-byte page (default)
3.9 KB/s with 128-byte* page (via platform data)
*limited to 31-bytes by I2C_SMBUS_BLOCK_MAX - 1.

v2 - Account for changes related to introduction of
i2c_smbus_read_i2c_block_data_or_emulated()
v3 - Consolidate three patches into one
- Expand comments regarding SMBus multi-master read risks.
- Rely on current-address-read for improved read performance (i.e. one
dummy address write followed by multiple individual byte reads).
This improves performance from 1.4 KiB/s to 3.6 KiB/s.
- Use struct at24_data's writebuf instead of kzalloc-ing
- Only limit write_max by 1-byte when accessing a 16-bit device with
block writes instead of attempting to preserve a power-of-two.
- Style fixes (indentation, parentheses, unnecessary masking, etc.)
v4 - Address 16-bit safety in Kconfig
- Set "count" to zero later in at24_smbus_read_block_data()
- Fix over-80-columns issues in at24_eeprom_read()
- Fix write_max off-by-one in at24_probe()
- Check SMBus functionality needed for 16-bit device reads
- Homogenize indentation of SMBus functionality checks for SMBus write
