Hi Axel, thanks for the fix, I agree it's needed.
There are some minor comments inlined below.

Plus, when possible, I prefer commit messages to be wrapped to 72/80
characters per line. Please, consider this if you are sending a v2.

Ah, may I ask where you are using this driver? Just curious.

The dev_info(&client->dev, "lp3944 enabled\n"); could now go right
here, before the return 0, so we don't report the driver as enabled
even in the case its probe fails.

add i2c_set_clientdata(client, NULL) here just like in lp3944_remove()
