An updated driver, backported from the most current LTS kernel (4.19.46) 
is now available from the elrepo repository for testing. This driver 
contains all the patches from the latest 5.1 branch.

kmod-i2c-i801-0.0-6.el7_6.elrepo.x86_64.rpm

Please can you test and let me know if it works for you.

Thanks,

Phil
