MTK I2C HW has some limitation.
1. If the i2c_msg number is more than one, STOP will be issued instead of
RS(Repeat Start) between each message.

2. Mediatek I2C controller support WRRD(write then read) mode, in WRRD
mode the Repeat Start will be issued between 2 messages.
In this driver if 2 messages is first write then read, the driver will
combine 2 messages using Write-Read mode so the RS will be issued between
the 2 messages.
Ex: W/R/R, driver will combine first W/R and then R.

3. Due to HW limitation, in this version the max transfer data length is 255
in one message.

This looks to me more like an SMBUS controller instead of I2C. Maybe you
should populate smbus_xfer rather than master_xfer?

MT8135 and MT6589 can control I2C pins on PMIC(MT6397) by setting the i2c
registers in MT8135 side.

I still didn't get this, even after reading the mail thread of old
series. Can someone maybe draw me a nice ASCII picture showing the setup
which is going on here?
