No it's not the same the scan work ok. I have not looked into exactly
why it works but my test program that reads 1 byte from userspace with
i2c_smbus_read_byte_data() dose not. I hoped I did not have to dig thru
too much into this as I don't know much about it.

Good question I get a bit unsure of what is going on when I read it
again but here is the test I removed. Everything works as I want when I
remove it.

/* When the bus is free, the BCS bits in the EXTSTS register are 0b100
*/
	if (ret != 0x40){
		return IIC_ERR_LOST_ARB;
	}
