Hi Heiko,
Hello Lubomir,

I2C chips do exist that require a write of some multi-byte data to occur in a single bus transaction (aka atomic transfer), otherwise either the write does not come into effect at all, or normal operation of internal circuitry cannot be guaranteed. The current implementation of the 'i2c write' command (transfer of multiple bytes from a memory buffer) in fact performs a separate transaction for each byte to be written and thus cannot support such types of I2C slave devices.
This patch provides an alternative by allowing 'i2c write' to execute the write transfer of the given number of bytes in a single bus transaction if CONFIG_SYS_I2C_BULK_WRITE is defined in the board header (otherwise the old method shall compile).

Could you rebase your patch against current mainline, please? As we have now DM in i2c subsystem your patch does not apply clean anymore ... thanks!
It looks like you are referring V1 of the patch here. The correct version is V2 (http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/415117/). If it doesn't apply as well, I shall try to find some time to fix it.
Thanks, Lubo
bye, Heiko
