Subject: [PATCH v1] fsi: Fix panic on scom file read

Reading the scom file without the custom open method (i2cr_scom_open)
causes a kernel panic. This change replaces simple_open with i2cr_scom_open
to properly initialize the private_data field in the file structure,
preventing the panic during scom file operations.
