Subject: [PATCH] rtc-ds1307: True SMBus compatibility

[Resent to correct linux-i2c address]

Following up to Sebastien Barre's recent patch, here I go one step
further, replacing i2c block transfers with SMBus byte transfers.
Sticking to pure SMBus makes the driver work on our board, which has an
nVidia SMBus controller driving a DS1339; nforce2 controllers
unfortunately don't support any flavor of i2c block transfer.

Reading or writing registers repeatedly until they stick is rather
nauseating but I'm aiming for correctness if not elegance.  I would
appreciate any suggestions for improvement.
