No upstream commit exists for this commit.

The WRITE_DEMOD path in ec168_i2c_xfer() checks msg[i].len < 1
before accessing the buffer, but then reads both buf[0] (register)
and buf[1] (value). If userspace supplies a 1-byte I2C message,
the read of buf[1] goes out of bounds, triggering a KASAN
slab-out-of-bounds error.

Fix by checking msg[i].len < 2 and returning -EOPNOTSUPP if the
buffer is too short to contain both register and value bytes.
