The i2c_transfer() function may return an error.
Ignoring errors returned by functions is bad practice.
Especially when these functions perform core functionality.
What's the point of continuing to call the same function
after an error is returned?
If the second function call succeeds, data corruption will occur.
Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with SVACE.
