NACK, for a simple reason:

This driver has 23 instances of unchecked I2C writes. This patch fixes
_one_ of them. I am not going to waste my time reviewing 23 separate
patches, each of them fixing one instance of an unchecked write, plus
another set of patches fixing all the unchecked read operations.
