Restoring? 0x18 has never been in ds2482's normal_i2c list.

As I2C doesn't offer any standard way to detect device presence at a
given address, we (ab)use the SMBus "Quick command" (0-byte message)
for this purpose. Not all adapters support this type of transaction.

The i2c-cpm driver was not present in kernel 2.6.25.7, so you must have
been using an out-of-tree driver. Maybe that driver had (possibly fake)
support for the SMBus quick command.
