What NAK means is device specific IMO, so to do it generally at regmap
level is convenient but wrong. at24 already has retry support because it
may be accessed while in an erase cycle. I don't know the other devices.
You need to discuss with the driver authors/maintainers if a NAK can
generally mean "let's retry" or if you need a seperate i2c_device_id for
your variant which then handles the NAK differently.
