Ahh, yeah I saw these messages but I wasn't able to relate them to the
I2C_FUNC_SMBUS_QUICK thing. My bad.

Looked at Spec, Linux driver and my backends, I don't there is
anything that breaks if we allow this. So the best thing (looking
ahead) is if Jie sends a patch for spec to be modified like this.

The case when ``length of \field{write_buf}''=0, and at the same time,
``length of \field{read_buf}''=0 is called not-a-read-write request
and result for such a request is I2C device specific.
