Please fix coding style (add braces) while touching this line.
QEMU code is not yet consistent with our CODING_STYLE, but changes
should make progress towards that.

Please remove the space between s->len and ++. However, I don't think
the change is entirely correct since the 'else' clause currently seems
to take the increment into account:
if (s->len <= 2)
s->buf[s->len - 1] = data;
tmp105_write(s);
Shouldn't the '- 1' in the middle line be removed?
