Running i2cdetect on ICH9 says: "I2C Block Write yes"
But having a closer look at how the whole thing is implemented proves that no i2c block write is supported. The proof: 1. i801_probe turns i801_features to FEATURE_I2C_BLOCK_READ 2. as a sequence in i801_block_transaction i801_block_transaction_byte_by_byte is called 3. on the other hand i801_block_transaction_byte_by_byte does if (read_write == I2C_SMBUS_WRITE) outb_p(len, SMBHSTDAT0); meaning SMBus length. But what if I want to write I2C's multi-block (without length or even command before)? I cannot understand why i801_func turns on I2C_FUNC_SMBUS_WRITE_I2C_BLOCK?
