Both this code and the virtio spec (which is already merged) are
missing msgs[i].flags and they are never sent to backend. The only
flags available here are the ones defined by virtio spec and these are
not i2c flags.

I also looked at your i2c backend for acrn and it mistakenly copies
the hdr.flag, which is the virtio flag and not i2c flag.

https://github.com/projectacrn/acrn-hypervisor/blob/master/devicemodel/hw/pci/virtio/virtio_i2c.c#L539

I will send a fix for the specs if you agree that there is a problem
here.

what am I missing here ? This should have been caught in your testing
and so I feel I must be missing something.
This is not a problem. My original proposal was to mirror the struct i2c_msg.
The code you looked at was based on that.
However, the virtio TC prefer not to mirror it. They have some concerns.
For example, there is a bit I2C_M_RD in i2c_msg.flag which has the same meaning with
the R/W in virtio descriptor. This is a repetition which may cause problems.
So the virtio_i2c_out_hdr.flags is used to instead of i2c_msg.flags for extension.

You can check this link https://github.com/oasis-tcs/virtio-spec/issues/88 to learn the whole story.
There are discussions about the spec (v1 ~ v7).

I'm updating these drivers step by step to make sure they finally follow the spec.
