Some I2C bus drivers do not allow zero-length data transfers which are

we can overcome this limitation by writing a zero dummy byte. This byte

I2C bus driver in a BeagleBone board.

Applied, after simplifying write_length initialization a bit.
Should this go to -stable ?
Any BeagleBone user that tries to use this sensor will encounter this issue. As
this board is very popular, this will potentially solve the problems of many
users. Nevertheless, it does not seems to me that this patch fixes "something
critical", which is one of the conditions to be accepted in the -stable tree.
