Writing to an AT24C32 generates on average 2x i2c transfer errors per 32-byte page write. Which amounts to a lot for a 4k write. This is due to the fact that the chip doesn't respond during it's internal write cycle when the at24 driver tries and retries the next write. Reduce this flooding of the log by using dev_err_ratelimited().
