Driver will now supports enable/disable across msg xfer, which user
can control it by new DT property -

 xfer and enable it back before xfer.

We discussed about this, I think in V1 or V2. Decided to use generic
name, as feature (in turn property) could be used by other drivers as
well.

Yeah, we could start i2c.txt, probably better to have separate new
patch all together.

Great and thanks for taking this.

I believe, better to wait for your patch and then rebase my patch-
series against it. right?

Request to review the this patch-series, so that I can incorporate all
comments in V6.

Thanks,

Wolfram has already owned up on creating i2c.txt for generic properties.
So, we will be soon close to others.

And thanks for your comments.
Please let me know if you have any other comments on patch-series, so
that I can incorporate it in next version.

Thanks,
