Maybe I did not explain well but this is what the code does, when i2c-core fails with -EOPNOTSUPP because the msg is too long for this adapter it loop with a smaller chunk of fixed size, so you only see the i2c-core message once.

Good question, I might be wrong as the original code is not mine but I think that is for safety.

I'm wondering what will happen if you connect a SLB9645 with a bus that has the max_read_len quirk defined and you try to read a message greater than the max_read_len. In such case __i2c_transfer will fail with -EOPNOTSUPP and do not work.

Thinking about this maybe we can do this here:

if (tpm_dev.chip_type == SLB9645) {
   /* fast transfer */
   rc = __i2c...
   ...
} else {
   /* normal transfer */
   rc = __i2c...
   ...
}

/* If the transfer failed try with chunks of 32 */
if (rc == -EOPNOTSUPP)
  rc = __i2c...
