Hi Guenter,

Thanks for taking the time to review the patch.

Yes, of course, I will include the information in v3.

Good point, thanks for the hint. I will remove it from v3.

According to i2c.h the return type for i2c_smbus_read_word_swapped() is 
s32, which is why I modified it here. But it could be changed back if you 
think it is better to leave it as an int.

Here is an example register dump:

00 00 00 00
01 90 07 d0
2c cd 7d 80
7c 29 20 00

The expected values in this case are:

in0_input 	5000
in1_input	610
in2_input	3500
in3_input	-195
in4_input	-299
temp1_input 	25000
temp2_input 	125000
temp3_input	-40000
curr1_input	38840
curr2_input	-12428

Testing with lltc,mode set to <5>, <6> and <7> should give you all 
measurements.
