Looks good.

I suggest we send it upstream with patches 1, 3, 4, 6 squashed into
one. Make sure we retain Timothy's copyright in the header.

Instead of using your i2c DWORD hack, use i2c_master_recv to do your
four byte transfer. Call out in a comment or your commit message that
the smbus spec doesn't define a 4 byte transfer, but the device needs
it.
