SMBUS has nothing to do with the problem, that was just an example. An I2C client driver can issue such I2C xfers all by itself without going through emulation, so just dropping the _EMUL flag is not the answer. And I'd be surprised if the hardware doesn't support single message reads.

There is no quirk flag for this abnormality, so you will have to open code the check in your master_xfer if you can't make such xfers work, but the best fix is certainly to just make them work...

Cheers,
