This driver does not support reading more than 255 bytes at once because the register for storing the number of bytes to read is only 8 bits. Add a max_read_len quirk to enforce this. This was found when using this driver with the SFP driver, which was previously reading all 256 bytes in the SFP EEPROM in one transaction. This caused a bunch of hard-to-debug errors in the xiic driver since the driver/logic was treating the number of bytes to read as zero. Rejecting transactions that aren't supported at least allows the problem to be diagnosed more easily.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
