This talkative function is also called on timeouts. As timeouts can
happen on regular writes to EEPROMs (no error case), this creates false
positives.  Giving lots of details is interesting only for developers
anyhow, so just use the function if DEBUG is #defined.

Are you sure this is safe?  If you time out the write before it completes,
how do you know if the write was successful?

I don't think this is "no error code" nor "false positive".  If the timeout
is too short for your EEPROMs, then the timeout needs to be increased.
