    regmap-i2c: Use i2c block command only if register value width is 8 bit · d4ef9306
    Guenter Roeck authored
    Chips with 16-bit registers don't usually work well with I2C block
    commands. For example, neither the LM75 datasheet nor the TMP102 datasheet
    mentions block command support, and in fact it does not work for any of
    those chips. Also, it is not clear how the block command would handle
    16-bit SMBus operations in the fist place, since the data format associated
    with those commands is either little endian or big endian, which requires
    some kind of conversion to or from host byte order.
    
    Only use i2c block commands if both register and value width is 8 bit.
