Hello Akinobu,
    thank you for the patch.

On which platform have you tested the series (just curious) ?

Actually, and please correct me if I'm wrong, what I see here is that
an i2c_master_send+i2c_master_recv sequence is equivalent to a mangled
smbus transaction:

i2c_smbus_read_byte_data | I2C_CLIENT_SCCB:
S Addr Wr [A] Comm [A] P S Addr Rd [A] [Data] NA P

i2c_master_send() + i2c_master_recv():
S Addr Wr [A] Data [A] P
S Addr Rd [A] [Data] NA P

I wonder if it is not worth to ditch the existing read() function in
favour of your new proposed one completely.

I have tested it on the Migo-R board where I have an ov772x installed
and it works fine.

Although I would like to have a confirmation this is fine by people
how has seen more i2c adapters in action than me :)

Thanks
