First of all, thanks for your patch.

I agree the name: transaction sounds better than read/write, and
can reduce redundant code from separate read, write function.
But, I guess using argument : u8 address will make the patch
looks better.

It would be better to use a function pointer instead of
using if-lese statement which looks not so neat.

Due to missing argument: address, you have to pass address in
argument: wdata. This kind of code style is prone to error.

It would be more clear if there is argument : address.

why return -EINVAL if wdata_len == 0?
