We had such a function once but removed because of no users. Please
check 67c2e66571c383404a5acd08189194da660da942 what it takes to bring
them back. Especially missing are documentation updates...

+s32 i2c_smbus_quick_write(const struct i2c_client *client)

... and I like the original function much better.

1) It is named *_write_quick which follows other function name patterns
2) It uses a parameter for the r/w bit. Make sense to me, since this bit
is the information we send to the device. quick_read doesn't make sense
to me. We don't receive a bit from the device.


Hi Wolfram:
Great thanks for your review. Ok. I will follow commit 67c2e665 to bring i2c_smbus_write_quick(struct i2c_client *client, u8 value) back.

BTW, how about i2c_probe_func_quick_read()? Should we replace it with the original i2c_smbus_write_quick()?
