Timeouts do happen on an I2C bus (e.g. when an EEPROM is in an erase
cycle). Or try 'i2cdetect -r'. At least, the dev_err should go. But I
also wonder if you really need to reset the hardware?

This function...

... and this are one example where the read- and write-counterparts are
very similar. I wonder if we would do better having just one function
and handle the difference with some if(). Example here: If you'd unify
zx2967_i2c_xfer_write_bytes() and zx2967_i2c_xfer_read_bytes() into one
generic function then zx2967_i2c_xfer_write() and zx2967_i2c_xfer_read
automatically become identical AFAICS. Thoughts?
