Hi,

so some minor comments left:

I hope this can extended in the future to allow zero-length messages. If
this is impossible we need to set an adapter quirk instead.

Is it really helpful for the user to know that msg5 failed? We don't
even say which transfer.

You are not emulating I2C_FUNC_SMBUS_QUICK, so you need to mask it out.

Is there something to add so you can distinguish multiple instances?
Most people want that.

Why so short? HZ is the kinda default value.

Won't the driver core print that for us?

BIT(0)?

Happy hacking,
