A driver returning -ENODEV should really have a log explaining what
happened with the device.

Anyway, see changeset 19/22. 

This is part of a changeset that cleanups the I2C return code and 
printk mess.

After changeset 19/22, the timeout messages will be displayed only
if debug is enabled, and it will return the proper error code for
I2C I/O errors, as described at I2C Documentation/.

Mauro
