Thanks for the reviews. Let me clarify:

This is a fix for a bug in the current driver.  See the changelog.

The relationship between this patch and my triggered-buffer work
is that I found this bug while trying to do just what you say above.
I tried to have 2 methods for reading data - smbus and plain i2c. 
That's the point where I found that smbus reads do not work, never did.

I know we want to stay on the smbus, so I'm looking for suggestions.
As I noted in changelog and my 'smbus help' email - every defined smbus
read command fails.
