Previously, the at24 driver would bail out in the case of a 16-bit
addressable EEPROM attached to an SMBus controller. This is because
SMBus block reads and writes don't map to I2C multi-byte reads and
writes when the offset portion is 2 bytes.

Instead of bailing out, this patch settles for functioning with single
byte read SMBus cycles. Writes can be block or single-byte, depending on
SMBus controller features.

This patch introduces at24_smbus_read_byte_data to transparently handle
single-byte reads from 8-bit and 16-bit devices.

Functionality has been tested with the following devices:

    AT24CM01 attached to Intel ISCH SMBus (1.8 KB/s)
    AT24C512 attached to Intel I801 SMBus (1.4 KB/s)

          If you use this with an SMBus adapter instead of an I2C adapter,
          full functionality is not available.  Only smaller devices are
-         supported (24c16 and below, max 4 kByte).
+         supported via block reads (24c16 and below, max 4 kByte).
+         Larger devices that use 16-bit addresses will only work with
+         individual byte reads, which is very slow.
 
          This driver can also be built as a module.  If so, the module
          will be called at24.
