You need to be careful when changing the header file. If you compile other platforms, you will see the error. Try ./MAKEALL -a powerpc. I don't know how bad you broke other architectures.

[Leekha Shaveta-B20052] Agree. This may break i2c driver code for other architectures.
For one of the I2C device for B4 platform, the read/write transaction cycle is little different from
Other conventional I2C devices like EEPROM, PCA etc. 
As its not right to change the header file for i2c as the same is being shared by other architectures/drivers also.
So should we write a separate header file for FSL I2C driver fsl_i2c.h that support this
New write_read API for I2C? 

What do you suggest here?
