[PATCH 1/9] regmap-i2c: keep bus raw write limit when applying read quirk

From: Peng Fan (OSS)

Date: Tue Nov 10 2026 - 03:35:29 EST


From: Peng Fan <peng.fan@xxxxxxx>

regmap_get_i2c_bus() applies adapter quirks on top of the raw I/O limits
advertised by the selected bus, but it starts from zero-initialised local
variables and then overwrites both max_raw_read and max_raw_write of the
copied bus. If only one direction is clamped by the adapter, the limit of
the other direction is dropped.

For example, regmap_i2c_smbus_i2c_block sets a 31-byte limit for both
directions. An adapter that only reports max_read_len causes the copied
bus to advertise 31 bytes for reads and no limit for writes, even though
I2C_SMBUS_BLOCK_MAX - 1 still applies.

Seed the locals from the selected bus and only replace a limit when the
adapter quirk is more restrictive. Also only allocate the bus copy when
one of the limits actually changes.
