If spacemit_i2c_xfer_msg() times out waiting for a message transfer to
complete, or if the hardware reports an error, it returns a negative
error code (-ETIMEDOUT, -EAGAIN, -ENXIO. or -EIO).
The sole caller of spacemit_i2c_xfer_msg() is spacemit_i2c_xfer(),
which is the i2c_algorithm->xfer callback function. It currently
does not save the value returned by spacemit_i2c_xfer_msg().
The result is that transfer errors go unreported, and a caller
has no indication anything is wrong.
When this code was out for review, the return value *was* checked
in early versions. But for some reason, that assignment got dropped
between versions 5 and 6 of the series, perhaps related to reworking
the code to merge spacemit_i2c_xfer_core() into spacemit_i2c_xfer().
Simply assigning the value returned to "ret" fixes the problem.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
