with that controller (or at least I don't have an idea what else to try).

Try CCing Heiner Kallweit for ideas about the i801 controller.

i am not Heiner Kallweit, but i found something interesting in
commit ba9ad2af7019 ("i2c: i801: Fix I2C Block Read on 8-Series/C220 and later").

Basically, it seems that the i802 i2c controller indeed features a SPD write disable bit which blocks all writes for slave addresses 0x50-0x57.

Does the i801 i2c controller driver print something like "SPD Write Disable is set" during boot?

Nice find. Yes, it does:

[ 5.462605] i801_smbus 0000:00:1f.4: SPD Write Disable is set
[ 5.468399] i801_smbus 0000:00:1f.4: SMBus using PCI interrupt


Kind regards,

Paul
