You might want to more the check for $man_id = 0x4d to here, 
to avoid reading the other registers if you don't have to.

I think it would be better to read the other non-existing registers here, 
because if those are real registers they are more unlikely to return 0x4d
than to return the same value as the status and configuration registers.

Something like

	$man_id = i2c_smbus_read_byte_data($file, 0xfe, NO_CACHE);
	return unless $man_id = 0x4d;  # Maxim
	return if i2c_smbus_read_byte_data($file, 0xff, NO_CACHE) != $man_id;
	return if i2c_smbus_read_byte_data($file, 0x04, NO_CACHE) != $man_id;
	return if i2c_smbus_read_byte_data($file, 0x06, NO_CACHE) != $man_id;

	...

Thanks,
