[patch] fix typo in i2c smbus documentation

the i2c smbus documentation has a typo ... when it describes the
"SMBus Write Word Data" function, it says that it is meant to "read
from a device" when in reality it should obviously be writing to the
device

btw, the i2c/smbus docs in Documentation/i2c/ are superb, thanks all :)

Good catch, applied, thanks. I've also backported this fix to i2c-SVN
and linux-2.4, as they also had the mistake.
