I shall try to add some comments near the BUG_ON check.

Is the Overflow case pointed above corresponding to when
msg_buf_remaining is zero? If no, what indicates that message is fully
sent? I see that if msg_buf_remaining is already zero, the call
tegra_i2c_empty_rx_fifo will not do any copy of the bytes from FIFO to buf.

One more point that is not clear to me is are the above suggestions you
made is corresponding to replacing below line in linux-next ?

https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v5.2-rc4/source/drivers/i2c/busses/i2c-tegra.c#L888

Can you please also review the newly added patch "V5 6/7 "that was newly
posted? I think it is needed.


-regards,
Bitan
