This is wrong. Arbitration lost and NACK is pretty standard stuff on an
I2C bus. User doesn't need to know about it, it is just noise in the
logs. Timeout is different, you can report that (although I should
probably move such a message into the core). Please also use the proper
errno codes defined in Documentation/i2c/fault-codes. They should be
distinct enough to drop the messages.
