This patch series increases the SMBus max block size from 32 to 255 as per the SMBus 3.0 specification. Userspace remains backwards compatible with the current 32 byte block for the I2C_SMBUS ioctl, and the block size limit remains for I2C_RDWR ioctl with I2C_M_RECV_LEN. It is separated into patches 1 & 2 though the userspace API isn't correct with only the first patch - maybe they should be squashed. The stack buffers in i2c_smbus_xfer_emulated() increase from ~70 bytes to ~500 bytes - I'm not sure if that is a problem. I have tested with the Aspeed I2C controller, other drivers can add the functionality as needed. For most emulated drivers it looks like minimal changes are required. This is required for MCTP I2C transport which has a 64 byte baseline packet size.
