Some I2C bus drivers do not allow zero-lenght data transfers which are
required to start a mesurement with the HIH6130/1 sensor. Nevertheless,
we can overcome this limitation by writing a zero dummy byte. This byte
is ignored by the sensor and was verified to be working with the OMAP
I2C bus driver in a BeagleBone board.
