What I want to achieve is, that the code in board.c reads a value from EEPROM, evaluates it and then adds the value as globalvar to the userland for scripting. However if I read the data using the function from below, the i2c_read_reg() returns with SUCCESS but the data read to the buffer is incorrect. I use the following snippet of code to read the data within the physom_devices_init() function within the board.c file.

In all cases the i2c_read or i2c_write functions return 0 (success) but the read or write was not executed correctly. See the example, where both reads should return the same data:

I believe it's just a case of OR'ing the register address (0xFE0 in your 
case) with I2C_ADDR_16_BIT.  This tells the i2c_read_reg() and 
i2c_write_reg() functions in "drivers/i2c/i2c.c" to send a two-byte 
address (MSB followed by LSB) to the I2C client instead of the 
single-byte address that most I2C client devices expect.
