Let's put it at the very beginning. This may give a bit more information about the
problem by knowing if the offending overflow happens after or during of the buffer's
fill up.

static int tegra_i2c_empty_rx_fifo(struct tegra_i2c_dev *i2c_dev)
{
u32 val;
int rx_fifo_avail;
u8 *buf = i2c_dev->msg_buf;
size_t buf_remaining = i2c_dev->msg_buf_remaining;
int words_to_transfer;

if (WARN_ON(!i2c_dev->msg_buf_remaining))
return -EINVAL;
...

In general, the original logic should be preserved during of refactoring. In this case
we are keeping the original check and then also making it a bit more informative.

Yes, please clean up all the occurrences in the code if there are any. And please do
it in a separate patch.
