Thank you again for fixing this issue. There are some USB-I2C bridges in
drivers/i2c/busses which also do not prevent zero len reads. Would it
make sense to put a protection into the I2C core? Can we reliably detect
that an adapter sits on a USB (maybe via the parent device), so that we
can then check if I2C_AQ_NO_ZERO_LEN_READ is set, and take action if
not?

Appreciating your input,
