This doesn't need to be separate from the p8_occ_i2c.c file. You can
remove a layer of function calls by merging this in and having these
be your getscom putscom bus_ops callbacks.

If you add endianness annotations sparse can check your types are
consistent. The warning looks like this:

make C=2 drivers/hwmon/occ/occ_scom_i2c.o
drivers/hwmon/occ/occ_scom_i2c.c:48:17: warning: cast to restricted __be64

Which tells you it expects the type you pass to be64_to_cpu to be __be64.

I first thought you had made a mistake here. Instead you could do:

       msgs[1].flags = client->flags & I2C_M_TEN | I2C_M_RD;
