How much does the i2c_read() slow down the transfer? If the device is PCIe it is probably significant. If the underlying problem is that the Tegra chip can't handle back to back writes to the tx fifo maybe there are other solutions! 1) Send it back and ask for a working chip :-) 2) Maybe an interleaved write will slow things down enough? It may be worth testing back to back writes to other registers to see if it is a problem that is specific to the tx fifo.
