The i2c-scmi driver crashes when the SMBus Write Block transaction is

ACPI Error: Evaluating _SBW: 4 (20170831/smbus_cmi-185)

This problem occurs because the length of ACPI Buffer object is not
defined/initialized in the code before a corresponding ACPI method is
called. The obvious patch below fixes this issue.
