Okay, I see now. But the I2C core prints a noisy warning if
master_xfer_atomic is NULL in atomic transfer, so I'm not sure whether
changing all that code will bring much benefits to us and anyone else.
It's a bit too questionable change to me, but maybe I'm still missing
something. Will be great if you could provide an example patch.
