Uh yes, this needs to be fixed. We'd need a few issues of this patch
fixed, first, though. From how I understand the patch, you only use
repeated start for write-then-read messages. You should do it for every
message in a transfer, that is for all messages passed to i2c_pnx_xfer().
This needs rework.
Also, there is not Signed-off line as described in
Documentation/SubmittingPatches, Chapter 11. I need it to apply the
patch.
Some other generic issues:

This changes seems unrelated? If so, it should go into a separate patch.

Please use 'var > constant'. This notation is too easy to get wrong.

Too much debug output, I'd think. Once the mechanism works, it won't be
of much use to other developers.
