I can't see how this is related to switching to the uapi headers. The
kernel-provided headers are supposed to be the same as the copies we
were using before.
As far as I can see, the cause of the breakage is:

libi2c: Properly propagate real error codes on read errors
So I'll take the blame :-( I find it odd that nobody noticed the
problem in more than 6 years...
Anyway, thanks for reporting and providing the fix, I'll commit it now.
