Subject: Re: [PATCH] rtc-ds1307: True SMBus compatibility

Here's another attempt at a patch for rtc-ds1307 that allows the driver
to work with SMBus controllers like nforce2 that do not support i2c
block transfers.  The byte-oriented compatibility routines now give up
after 10 unsuccessful attempts to read or write a block of registers
without conflict.
