dev_err(client->dev, "i2c_transfer returned %d\n", cnt);

We then have an idea which device has a transfer error.

Please try to not use pr_err() when you have some sort of device.

Maybe use msleep_interruptable()?

dev_debug()

dev_debug()

Maybe look through all your pr_info and downgrade most of them to
dev_debug()
