(Sorry I haven't commented on your earlier versions. They
included other changes to prepare for this; I'm looking at
this patch in isolation and haven't reviewed the others.)
An aside: I notice the #includes are indented an additional
space in this source file; perhaps you can get rid of those
(in a separate patch) at some point.
You really need to provide more information about how this
is implemented. This patch makes non-trivial changes to
the logic.

This is fine, but you could maybe call it atomic (to match
the callback funtion name).
Actually, almost all uses of this field are negated, i.e.:
if (!i2c->use_pio)
Maybe you could use a name that doesn't require negation,
like "can_block" for example.

You should introduce a patch before this one that simply moves
one or both of these functions earlier in the file, so these
forward-declarations can be avoided.

What determines whether use_pio is set? The answer is that
it's set when i2c_algorithm->xfer_atomic is used; it is false
if i2c_algorithm->xfer is used. (This would be something
you'd explain in your patch header.)

You could encapsulate the above four lines in a new function
spacemit_i2c_delay(unsigned long usec), since they are repeated
in two places. It can also be used in spacemit_i2c_wait_pio_xfer()
even though the check for PIO isn't needed there.

The above could also be encapsulated, to simplify this block of
code and the one below that uses this structure. And again, it
could be used in spacemit_i2c_wait_pio_xfer() as well, despite
the check for PIO not being needed there.

Why does this block of initialization only need to be done
when not using PIO? What happens in the PIO case? I think
the answer is that you don't want any interrupts when using
PIO. But... what if these conditions occur in PIO mode?

It's worth explaining (somewhere, possibly in the patch
header) that this is different from what was done before.
As a reviewer I didn't realize this at first; I thought
you were simply making a block of code conditional on
the value of use_pio.

I would find it easier to follow if you set up the
common bit assignments to the SPACEMIT_ICR register
first, and then do the non-PIO specific ones afterward.

You should add a comment here indicating this returns 0
if there's a timeout/error, or non-zero (1) for success.

I think this can be a do..while block instead. Both conditions
will certainly be true initially.

Why do you delay *first*? I think you should read the status
and only if you're not done, insert the delay.

Instead, do this:

continue;

I'd rather see the above be done outside the loop. It would
simplify things. The call to spacemit_i2c_handle_state()
would be the end of the loop.
Then outside the loop:
if (unprocessed)
return 0; /* timeout */
if (!i2c->read)
return 1;
/*
* In read mode, err_check() ...
* ...
*/
I might have the logic wrong here, but you might find
it's simpler if you try to handle it this way.

You can drop the sentence about what happens in read mode.
It's a distraction. Just explain what you have to do in write

The above two lines could be wrapped in spacemit_i2c_complete(i2c),

Introducing spacemit_i2c_handle_state() as a simple separate

Why is the timeout a fixed constant for PIO, but a fairly
precise calculation based on message length otherwise?
