I just noticed this and wonder: Don't you need the LSB of the address?
It is not the RW flag, this is encoded in msg->flags.
So, the hardware interprets the LSB as the RW flag. It wouldn't be possible
to have a device addressed with the LSB set on this I2C master.
But msg->addr is 7 bit and LSB aligned. If I am not horribly wrong, with
the above code, an EEPROM at 0x50 would show up as 0x28 with your
driver?

Sorry, what do you mean "show up as"? Yes, we could first shift all our addresses in user-space before passing them to the driver, so that the msg->addr field is exactly what the hardware expects already... This would be non-trivial for our users considering all our documentation represents the addresses as the top 7 bits of a byte :(


Indeed, real 10-bit addresses require some additional manipulation of this
I2C master in order to work. We don't support it right now.
Then you should remove the associated FUNC flag.

Ah, but due to the addressing situation, tools like i2cget don't work with our addresses unless the 10 bit flag is specified. For example, we may want to access 0xA0.
