Your log message implies that you have 5 i2c/isa bus drivers loaded. That
doesn't seem right. Can you send the output of:
ls /proc/bus/ /proc/sys/dev/sensors/
lsmod
Also, the 0xffff values in the auto-detect indicate a failure to read from the
chip.
Can you send the output of:
prog/detect/i2cdetect 4
and
prog/dump/i2cdump 4 0x2d
Thanks
:v)
