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?

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.
