Using the smbus function makes the driver work with a pure SMBus
adapter and keeps it working with I2C adapters through the SMBus
"emulation". By using the open coded version we have more code and
the driver does not work with pure SMBus adapters.
So I see no reason why the open coded version should be used. Note,
that regmap also uses i2c_smbus_read_word_data() internally for your
configuration of the non-ancillary device.
