ds1337_do_command() is not related with i2c-core in anyway, so I am not
authoritative here. That being said, I do like the patch as I think it
makes much sense.

I'd be happy to apply this patch on top of my stack, unfortunately it
conflicts with previous cleanups from Ladislav.

James, could you please provide a patch which would apply properly on
top of my stack? You can get it from here:
  http://khali.linux-fr.org/devel/i2c/linux-2.6/
In particular you'll find the 3 patches I have for the ds1337 driver
already.

Please do not forget to comment and sign patches when you send them, so
that they can be accepted.

I think I understand that this part is only one half of the complete
patch. We can only apply complete patches, obviously. One of you please
send such a patch with comment and signed-off-by line.

Thank to both of you for the cleanups to this driver, BTW, these were
needed.
