I don't have the manual, just Andrzej's omap_i2c code. n800/n810 seems
to be OMAP2420 btw.

    case 0x0c:	/* I2C_IV */
        if (s->revision >= OMAP2_INTR_REV)
            break;

And our s->revision == OMAP2_INTR_REV (0x34), so reading IV is a no-op.
It reads as related to interrupt handling, which I was otherwise not
touching on.

There was no other comment saying "SBD" anywhere or touching "1 << 15"
of s->stat, so to me it seems nothing resets this bit today.

I don't get any hit for "SBD" in the Linux driver either, i2c-omap.c in
torvalds/linux.git seems to unconditionally read both bytes in
omap_i2c_receive_data() if the device has a 16-bit register. CC'ing the
Linux OMAP maintainer.

I could try to simply ignore SBD and rely on my own counting. I already
moved it to its own libqos source file last night.

To me that just says I need to check SBD to decide whether the high byte
last read is valid.
