This varient was introduced in
i2c: boilerplate function for byte swapped smbus_write/read_word_data

This also has the side effect of ensuring any errors from the i2c
read and no longer mangled.

V2: include the write function as pointed out by Michael Hennerich.

The patch introducing this swapped function is working its way through the i2c
tree.

This is still not endian-safe. I wonder if introducing
i2c_smbus_read_word_swapped() just makes the metter worse by hiding
this...

I'd prefer if we had i2c_smbus_read_be16() instead.

smbus spec says that all transfers must be little endian.
Hence it is type safe because the smbus controllers are guaranteed to have made
that assumption and converted to cpu endianess.  If not they are buggy.
Hence, this is endian safe.

Ah, right... OK then.
