Hi Junyi,

Sashiko's comments look legit to me, can you please take a look
at those?

Besides...

No need for brackets here:

if (...)
goto ...;
else if (...)
goto ...;

But perhaps the two can be even merged.

(i2c->msg->len - i2c->pos) is equal to (i2c->pos < i2c->msg->len)

I think this should also be under spinlock in order to avoid that
the interrupt handler accesses a partially initialized state.

the next instruction overwrites this error. Perhaps you could
use a goto to spin_unlock and return.
