Understood. But I saw your proposal can only group two segments
"write-read".
What if we have segments more than two ? for example,
"write-read-read..." or "write-write-write...".
Can we use a flag to tag the START/STOP segments so that they can be
grouped into one transaction ?
Grouping of more than two segments is not particularly common, a lot
of host devices might not support it (unless they simply do bitbanging).
On the other hand grouping of two segments _is_ common enough that it
is probably supported by many host devices, and worth supporting it in
virtio-i2c.
You can certainly add an "u32 flags" to the buffer for future
extensibility. That's a good idea regardless.
Paolo
Understood... Thank you !
