Yes. If the platform met any irq error condition and the i2c wasn't stated under ASPEED_I2C_MASTER_INACTIVE.
Then the code flow would goto the end of aspeed_i2c_master_irq.

	ret = aspeed_i2c_is_irq_error(irq_status);
	if (ret) {
		...
		irq_handled |= (irq_status & ASPEED_I2CD_INTR_MASTER_ERRORS);
		if (bus->master_state != ASPEED_I2C_MASTER_INACTIVE) {
			bus->cmd_err = ret;
			bus->master_state = ASPEED_I2C_MASTER_INACTIVE;
			goto out_complete;
		}
	}

Some master interrupt states were not handled under this situation.
The fake irq not equaled message would be filled into whole of demsg.
It's most like below example.

...
aspeed-i2c-bus 1e78a780. i2c-bus: irq handled != irq. expected 0x00000030, but was 0x00000020
aspeed-i2c-bus 1e78a780. i2c-bus: irq handled != irq. expected 0x00000030, but was 0x00000020
aspeed-i2c-bus 1e78a780. i2c-bus: irq handled != irq. expected 0x00000030, but was 0x00000020
...

I thought the bus->cmd_err has been filled error reason and it would be returned to upper layer.
So, I didn't think the print should be existed.

Did you suggest to add "bus->master_state != ASPEED_I2C_MASTER_INACTIVE" judgement before print the irq not equal print?
