I will separate with following.

Since it is in sysfs /sys/bus/platform/drivers/i2c_ast2600
So I add Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-bus-platform-drivers-i2c-ast2600
am I right?
What: /sys/bus/platform/drivers/i2c-ast2600/.../xfer_mode
Date: March 2026
KernelVersion: 6.x
Contact: Ryan Chen <ryan_chen at aspeedtech.com>
Description:
Shows or sets the transfer mode for the ASPEED AST2600 I2C
controller. Valid values are:
- "byte": Programmed I/O, one byte at a time.
- "buffer": Programmed I/O using the hardware FIFO buffer.
- "dma": DMA transfer (only available if aspeed,enable-dma
is set in the device tree).
Writing an unsupported mode returns -EINVAL.

OH, Sorry it is my bad.

Will modify with following.
i2c_bus->buf_base = devm_platform_get_and_ioremap_resource(pdev, 1, &res);
if (!IS_ERR(i2c_bus->buf_base))
i2c_bus->buf_size = resource_size(res) / 2;
else
i2c_bus->buf_base = NULL;

Will update

else if (i2c_bus->buf_base)
mode = BUFF_MODE;
