Si7020 outputs most significant byte of the measurement result first

i2c_smbus_read_word_data appears as big endian. Fix this by making a
call to an approbriate byte conversion routine.

i2c_smbus_read_word_data() returns data in native endianess. But it interprets the word on the bus as little-endian (As specified by the SMBus spec). If your chip returns data in big-endian use i2c_smbus_read_word_data_swapped().
