Thank you for your comments!

It is not needed here. I will delete it in v2.

Well this zero is not register nor any kind of command that DS1803 needs to send
back pots values.
DS1803 only requires the standard R/W bit to be set as read.
I used _word_ function series to get back a word (16 bits) as this poti returns
16 bits.

How should I named it?

#define NON_COMMAND 0
?

Or should I use different function? (2x i2c_smbus_read_byte?)

The i2c_smbus_read_byte() function also used 0 as command
for its transfers...

OK.

At this point I do not know why should I do it, but I will look into that.

Good point.
