using i2c_smbus_read/write_i2c_block_data() instead of
read/write_word_data() or i2c_transfer() actually changes what is
transferred on the bus. SMBus block transfers have a different
register model, they additionally read or write the byte count after
transmitting the register/command code, see SMBus spec:

+---+-------------+---+--+-------------+--+---------------+--+------------+----+
| S | Slave Addr  | Wr| A| Command Code| A| Byte Count = N| A| Data Byte 1| A  |
+---+-------------+---+--+-------------+--+---------------+--+------------+----+

So a driver using regmap must implement different transfers depending on
the i2c adapter capabilities, is this intentionally done so?

Specifically, there is no way of getting rid of the additional byte count
field if the adapter doesn't support I2C_FUNC_I2C although it would be
technically possible.

I would prefer regmap to always use the same register model (i.e. without
the byte count field), can you explain the rationale for this?
