The kernel code is encapsulated when reading the pcf2127 register, which separates the read and write, 
thus generating a stop signal before reading the register.
Eg: Here is the wrapper made by the kernel code:
static int pcf2127_i2c_read(void *context, const void *reg, size_t reg_size,
                                void *val, size_t val_size)
{
        struct device *dev = context;
        struct i2c_client *client = to_i2c_client(dev);
        int ret;

        if (WARN_ON(reg_size != 1)) 
                return -EINVAL;

        ret = i2c_master_send(client, reg, 1); 
        if (ret != 1)
                return ret < 0 ? ret : -EIO;

        ret = i2c_master_recv(client, val, val_size);
        if (ret != val_size)
                return ret < 0 ? ret : -EIO;

        return 0;
}

Yes,but adding debugging to the rtc driver is also the same problem

Pcf2127 driver also has problems, has been modified, need i2c general code to support
