Two minor bikesheds below.

Can we call this gmbus1_index to make it clear that this is just to
specifiy an index write in gmbus1 and not the entire thing?

Thas fallthrough is imo to clever code. What about extracting
gmbus_xfer_index_read which does all this and then directly calls
gmbus_xfer_read?

i.e.

if (complated condition for index read) {
gmbus_xfer_index_read();
i += 1; /* set i to the index of the read xfer */
} else if (is_read) {
gmbus_xfer_read();
} else {
gmbus_xfer_write();
}

This way we also don't need to clobber gmbus_xfer with the new gmbus1,
gmbus5 local variables.

gmbus_xfer_index_read could then also clear gmbus5 after calling
gmbux_xfer_read.
