Because the i2c_transfer could be failure and return nagative code or
other number but not the right number of messages executed.
Therefore, it should be better to check the return value and deal with
it.
This time, for the sake of convenience, I only fix one as an example.
If the patch is right, I will submit a new version including others,
like wdt_disable().
