This was almost always called at the end of the transaction. The
only time it wasn't called was when a protocol violation occurred,
and the error reporting was inconsistent there.

So have the transaction functions return positive status or a
negative error if they detect an issue. If a protocol violation
does occur, always do a kill operation on the bus instead of just
trying to finish the operation. If there was a hardware issue,
the code that was there to terminate the transaction could loop
forever, and the kill seems more appropriate if something goes
grossly wrong.

I *think* the patch is OK. I have a few comments.

Not sure this is a good idea to map -EPROTO to "Illegal SMBus block read
size". True, it looks like it can only happens this way, but I would
rather see it mapped to "Protocol Error". Given that Protocol Error is
not very interesting in itself, I'd rather keep the error messages in
the callers only (except for ETIMEOUT where you can output an error
message).

That would mean you would have exactly the same error print in
two (well, three if you count a future patch) different locations in the
code. I moved it here to avoid that issue. I agree that "Protocol
Error" is not that specific, and I don't see a clean way to communicate
this information. So I think you are right.

Here, the code already dev_warn the timeout and later i801_check_post
will dev_err the timeout too. That's one too much IMO :)

Indeed, I didn't notice that.

Not entirely sure why the priv->len changes are interleaved in this
patch. I might be missing something, but it looks like it should not be
there or in a separate patch.

This was so the code reporting the error in the check_post function could
print out the length value. If I move the logs to where the error is detected,
the priv->len setting here will no longer be necessary.

Thanks,
