Wei Chen reports a kernel bug as blew:

general protection fault, probably for non-canonical address KASAN: null-ptr-deref in range [0x0000000000000010-0x0000000000000017] ... Call Trace:

In az6027_i2c_xfer(), if msg[i].addr is 0x99, a null-ptr-deref will caused when accessing msg[i].buf. For msg[i].len is 0 and msg[i].buf is null.

Fix this by checking msg[i].len in az6027_i2c_xfer().
