    Always returning the same value doesn't make much sense. Are you trying
to save space on the call sites?

Please elaborate. I think it does. If a quirk matches, we report that we
don't support this transfer.

OK, but what's the point of having this function return *int* if it always returns the same value? AFAIU, you're trying to save the code space on the call sites of this function by not having *return* -EOPNOTSUPP there each time?

    So, you only check for non-zero result of this function? Perhaps it makes
sense to return true/false instead?

Could be done, but what would be the advantage? A lot of functions
return errno or 0.

It would have been OK if you were actually caring about the result, e.g. returning it from __i2c_transfer(). Since you don't, IMO it would make more sense to return true from i2c_check_for_quirks() (making it *bool*) iff it did find/apply a quirk.
