I think it is ok for a wrapper like this because it does not really change an API because
it is menf21bmc related.
I did the same in rtc-rx8581, and it was already done in rtc_ds1307.c.
I personally prefer this way because the return of the function and the return
value of the i2c_smbus_read - which is the value read from the device - are seperated.
If it is a no go for the mfd/wdt core i can change it back to the original i2c_smbus API.
If it is ok on your side for a wrapper like this, we can let it as it is.
Thanks
Andy
