This is based on commit 21144298 - the exposed API for the rest is what
the intent was supposed to be.

Then we should rather *fix* function usage *NOT* introduce an new
function for the same job!

But wait an min, twl4030_i2c_[read|write]_u8 follows the same proto as
twl6035_i2c_read/write_u8!
You are welcome to fix both while at it. But please *DONOT* introduce
duplicate functions on style need!
