OK, but it seems careless because the two types
are not uniformly indented, there's a blank line
between pch_dbg and pch_err, and the two pch_pci_<level>
defines are in the reverse order without a blank line
between them. 

I think it's better to use separate multiple strings
that are concatentated by the preprocessor like:
	"%s :" fmt
not
	"%s :"fmt

Almost all code in kernel uses "%s: " to format __func__.
Some use "%s(): ".  I think "%s :" is unique.

The rest of the logging messages look good.

Some other comments:

This would look better as:

	if ((pch_wait_for_xfer_complete(adap) == 0) &&
	    (pch_getack(adap) == 0)) {

> +	if ((pch_wait_for_xfer_complete(adap) == 0)

Here too.

Would it be better to disable all possible interrupts first
or do you need to disable them in order?

Something like:

	bool *disabled = kzalloc(PCH_MAX_CHN * sizeof(bool), GFP_KERNEL);
/*
 * or a static with a memset, or check something
 * like pch_is_int_enabled(&adap_info->pch_data[i])
 * then remove the else because the kzalloc couldn't fail.
 */
	if (disabled) {
		bool alldone;
		do {
			alldone = true;
			for (i = 0; i < PCH_MAX_CHN; i++) {
				if (!adap_info->pch_data[i].pch_xfer_in_progress &&
				    !disabled[i])) {
					pch_disbl_int(&adap_info->pch_data[i]);
					disabled[i] = true;
				} else
					alldone = false;
			}
			if (!alldone) {
				/* Wait until all channel transfers are completed */
				msleep(1);
			}
		} while (!alldone);
		kfree(disabled);

/* remove the else if there's a static etc */

	} else {
		for (i = 0; i < PCH_MAX_CHN; i++) {
			while ((adap_info->pch_data[i].pch_xfer_in_progress)) {
				/* Wait until all channel transfers are completed */
				msleep(1);
			}
			/* Disable the i2c interrupts */
			pch_disbl_int(&adap_info->pch_data[i]);
		}
	}

cheers, Joe
