The SMBus specification says that LSB always goes first when sending or
receiving a 16-byte word. i2c-core and individual i2c bus drivers must
follow this specification, even though most I2C slave devices actually
transmit the MSB first. It is the responsibility of the I2C chip driver
(or user-space in the case of i2c-dev) to swap the bytes if needed. See
for example the lm75 driver.
