How does this patch make sure that the I2C adapter supports protocol mangling
?

I think you're getting the commit message backwards. It would be easier to
read if you start by an explanation of why the commit is needed, followed by
what it does. How about something like this ?
--------
Since commit e78902976150 ("i2c: sh_mobile: don't send a stop condition by
default inside transfers") the i2c_sh_mobile I2C adapter emits repeated starts
between messages in a transfer unless explicitly requested with I2C_M_STOP.
This breaks the ov772x driver in the SH4 Migo-R board as the Omnivision sensor
uses the I2C-like SCCB protocol that doesn't support repeated starts:
i2c-sh_mobile i2c-sh_mobile.0: Transfer request timed out
ov772x 0-0021: Product ID error 92:92
Fix it by marking the client as an SCCB client, which will force the I2C
adapter to emit a stop/start between all messages.
The patch has been tested on SH4 Migo-R board and fixes probing of the ov772x
driver:
soc-camera-pdrv soc-camera-pdrv.0: Probing soc-camera-pdrv.0
ov772x 0-0021: ov7725 Product ID 77:21 Manufacturer ID 7f:a2
