Well, there's no need to repeat the same thing twice at the same function ;)

Why do you think it better expresses it? It is just a more verbose way
of doing the same thing.
If you want to better express, then add a comment:
/*
* Reg 08 value 0 means that the operation succeeded.
* different values indicate that the I2C device was not found.
*/
if (!ret)
return len;

Again, what do you mean by "chips which actually don't support it"?
Are you talking about some versions of chips with this ID?
+ CHIP_ID_EM2765 = 54,
Or about something else? How those can be distinguished from the others
that don't support it? Or they can't be distinguished?

Well, you don't need to explain the same thing twice at the same function ;)
