Jason:

What happens when you reading the device with the i2cdump utility? This has a 
mode setting to control whether it reads bytes (8 bits) or words (16 bits) at a 
time. For example:

i2cdump -y 2 0x67 b

Should dump the entire contents of the MCP9600 registers as bytes.   

There’s a man page that gives all the options.

I found this command useful when troubleshooting my own i2c devices.  If 
i2cdump works properly, that would seem to indicate a driver issue.  If it 
doesn’t work, then it’s something else.
