It makes the write path similar to the read path. I admit to overlooking
the single write message as everything I saw was always a write followed
by a read. The patch looks correct, but I need to stare at it a bit more
before I r-b.

However, the outstanding issue is that we need to separate the gmbus
i2c adapter from the gpio i2c adapter in order for the pairing to work
with the expectations of the i2c core.
