+* Maxim Integrated DS1803 digital potentiometer driver

+The node for this driver must be a child node of a I2C controller, hence
+all mandatory properties for your controller must be specified. See directory:
+
+ Documentation/devicetree/bindings/i2c
+
+for more details.
+
+Required properties:

+ model:
+ "maxim,ds1803-010",
+ "maxim,ds1803-050",

+
+Example:

It is not needed here. I will delete it in v2.

Well this zero is not register nor any kind of command that DS1803 needs to send
back pots values.
DS1803 only requires the standard R/W bit to be set as read.
I used _word_ function series to get back a word (16 bits) as this poti returns
16 bits.

How should I named it?

#define NON_COMMAND 0
?

Or should I use different function? (2x i2c_smbus_read_byte?)

The i2c_smbus_read_byte() function also used 0 as command
for its transfers...

At this point I do not know why should I do it, but I will look into that.

Good point.

maybe i2c_transfer() is more appropriate then

u8 databuf[2];
struct i2c_msg msgs[2] = {
{ .addr = client->addr, .len = sizeof(databuf), .buf = databuf,
.flags = I2C_M_RD } };
ret = i2c_transfer(client->adapter, msgs, 2);

this does not send any data to the chip but only reads two bytes

write_raw expects a VAL_INT_PLUS_MICROS per default, passed
in val and val2

you can change that with .write_raw_get_fmt (e.g. to expect VAL_INT),
or just make sure that the micros are 0

Good point. But maybe the better solution would be to use i2c_master_recv?
Anyhow I will check both options ;)
