That is a bit naive and will not fly since the I2C core has a max message
size of 65535. Which is exposed to user space...

Given the above, saying .max_read_len = 65535 a NOP (and is in fact omitted
in places where it would be needed if the type is changed). I suggest that
it is omitted here as well. But SZ_64K - I2C_PACKET_HEADER_SIZE is still
needed of course. At least if I2C_PACKET_HEADER_SIZE is guaranteed to be
non-zero?
