    Subject: [PATCH v3] drivers: ipmi: Support raw i2c packet in IPMB
    
    Many IPMB devices doesn't support smbus protocol and current driver support only smbus devices. Added support for raw i2c packets.
    
    User can define use-i2c-block in device tree to use i2c raw transfer.
    
    Asmaa>> Fix the description: "The ipmb_dev_int driver only supports the smbus protocol at the moment. Add support for the i2c protocol as well. There will be a variable passed by though the device tree or ACPI table which sets the configures the protocol as either i2c or smbus."

    You don't really need to use kzalloc anyways. 
We need to allocate memory to pass to i2c_transfer. That's what being done in i2c_smbus_xfer function as well.
    
    Also, this code chunk is short, so you can call it directly from the write function. I don't think you need a separate function for it.
I wanted to keep this change as clean as possible.
