In what order is the bits returned from that function, because it seems as if I disabled that code I get values as I expect (i.e. before the regmap patch).

Remember that SMBus specifies that the LSB comes first (and i2c-core
implement things that way) while real I2C devices typically send the MSB
first. This has always caused confusion. This is why a lot of drivers
