No, that's not what this bug & patch is about.

This patch is about the fact that we are reading the temp &
humid data registers incorrectly in the current driver and
we are exposing incorrect numbers via sysfs raw reads.

I have tried by testing and inspection each read protocol.
It NAKs all of them - except for read_byte. Problem with
read_byte is that we are always getting the MSB.   We do 2
consecutive read_bytes, expecting MSB,LSB, but get MSB,MSB.

I have been doing msmts w this driver for quite awhile, and
to my human eye they looked reasonable in integer format.
But, once I started looking at the byte level, to test moving
those bytes into buffers, I saw the unmistakable pattern: 
MSB == LSB always.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.  I still hold out hope that
we can fix this with some smbus magic and not 'kill backward
compatibility'.  

Who's the resident SMBUS expert(s)?

I don't have a session logged, but I can set up and send a 
demo if wanted.  Let me know.
