Edgar Cherkasov 08d9db00fe i2c: i2c-scmi: fix for i2c_smbus_write_block_data
The i2c-scmi driver crashes when the SMBus Write Block transaction is
executed:

ACPI Error: Evaluating _SBW: 4 (20170831/smbus_cmi-185)

This problem occurs because the length of ACPI Buffer object is not
defined/initialized in the code before a corresponding ACPI method is
called. The obvious patch below fixes this issue.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
