Can you please explain why this would not a problem for all future
transactions as well?

If it is, then it sounds like this needs to be addressed in the i2c
driver. If not, then perhaps the problem is really that you just need a
delay after enabling the power supplies?

Nit: move above the 'ret' declaration to maintain reverse xmas style
ordering.
