This alignment doesn't look right. Probably should be something like:

  	if (!i2c_check_functionality(client->adapter,
				     I2C_FUNC_SMBUS_WRITE_BYTE_DATA |
				     I2C_FUNC_SMBUS_WRITE_BYTE |
				     I2C_FUNC_SMBUS_READ_BYTE_DATA |
				     I2C_FUNC_SMBUS_READ_WORD_DATA |
				     I2C_FUNC_SMBUS_READ_I2C_BLOCK) &&
 			             !i2c_check_functionality(client->adapter, 
							      I2C_FUNC_SMBUS_EMUL)) {
