What happens if someone changes the pm_runtime configuration in between
a pwr_disable() and the corresponding enable?

This is a substantila incompatibility with most I2C ccontrollers i the
kernel.  Is it possible for the driver to deal with this transparently,
for example by expanding into a number of continued transfers?  If not
we should add support to the I2C core for determining transfer limits,
the 256 bytes limit is pretty low.

This definitely seems buggy - there's no error returned to the caller?
