Did you look at sound/i2c/i2c.c?  ALSA has its own i2c implementation,
only 333 lines, due to the kernel i2c core being overly complex for
ALSA's needs.

"Although there is a standard i2c layer on Linux, ALSA has its own i2c
codes for some cards, because the soundcard needs only a simple
operation and the standard i2c API is too complicated for such a
purpose." 

(from http://www.alsa-project.org/~iwai/writing-an-alsa-driver/x77.htm)

Personally, I would start with this, then add any needed functionality.
