SubjectRe: [PATCH v2] Adding i2c-cp2615: i2c support for Silicon Labs' CP2615 Digital Audio Bridge
Hi Bence,

No worries, the progress from your first to your second version was
really great! You can add such information e.g. using the "--annotate"
parameter og git-send-email.

Yes, also perfect.

I think we still should use I2C_AQ_NO_ZERO_LEN. The almost only use case
is a standalone zero-len read or write. This is not supported by your
adapter as you found out.

Yes, BIT(7) and same patchset please. But you need to make it 1/2
because you will use it in you driver which is then 2/2.

Maybe, but we can fix them later incrementally. Currently, there is also
no client testing the flag, so we have a bit of time here.

Then keep it.

All the best and happy hacking,
