Yes it's bytes. I will make it explicit in the comment.

Sorry for my fault. I will modify it.

Yes, There's looks like quite a bit of code duplication in the four functions above.
I also hate quite a bit of code duplication.
But there are many differences in fact.
If unify them we should add many conditional statements and auxiliary variable.
I think it's superfluous and will damage the readability.
So, I am very confused. And if you think unify them will be better I will modify it.
Thanks for your suggestion and looking forward to hearing from you.

Yes, here have two dma channels, one for RX and the other one for TX.
When we request the channel we should determine it for TX or RX.

I think this function will not called while the DMA is still
active because of the Linux synchronization mechanism - completion.
I used it in the dma function.

Considering the symmetric with them i2c_imx_dma_write.
i2c_imx_dma_write and i2c_imx_pio_write have many differences. So I separate them.
But i2c_imx_dma_read and i2c_imx_pio_read is the same at first part. I may should unify them.
But it's will not symmetric with them i2c_imx_dma_write if unified them. So I don't know which will be better?
Looking forward to hearing from you.
