I'm wondering if this might be fallout from one of
35cd67a0caf7 ("i2c: viperboard: return message count on master_xfer success")
de9a8634f1cb ("i2c: pmcmsp: return message count on master_xfer success")

But I have no idea what i2c driver these Thinkpads are using, so it is not
unlikely that I'm way off...

Cheers,
