i2cReadReg is always used with SII154_I2C_ADDRESS.

Perhaps it'd be better to redefine i2cReadReg to something else.
i2cReadReg also returns an unsigned char so this cast isn't
particularly sensible.

Perhaps something like:

#define sii164_i2c_read_reg(reg)	i2cReadReg(SII164_I2C_ADDRESS, reg)

	device_id = sii164_i2c_read_reg(SII164_DEVICE_ID_HIGH) << 8 |
		    sii164_i2c_read_reg(SII164_DEVICE_ID_LOW);
