we can overcome this limitation by writing a zero dummy byte. This byte is ignored by the sensor and was verified to be working with the OMAP I2C bus driver in a BeagleBone board.

You can simplify this code by introducing a variable to hold the write length into struct hih6130. This variable can be initialized with 1 or 0 in the probe function. if (i2c_check_functionality(client->adapter, I2C_FUNC_SMBUS_QUICK)) hih6130->write_length = 0; else hih6130->write_length = 1; Then replace above code with tmp[0] = 0; ret = i2c_master_send(client, tmp, hih6130->write_length); This way you don't have to call i2c_{get,check}_functionality() repeatedly. Thanks, Guenter
