Thats intentional. We want to still read next device that show up

not really. We cant keep reading successfully. At some point all slaves will ignore and return ENODATA and we exit. Bus errors will also make it exit
BUT given that we have seen stuff i am inclined to add a counter, we cant have more than 11 device so that's a sane value to use :)
Yep. Keep in mind however that there could be theoretical corner cases: if a device is enumerated, loses sync and becomes attached again while you deal with others, you'd have more than 11 iterations.
Not really as that would be another interrupt and another status report.
You are in a loop where you keep reading the devId registers, and that really has nothing to do with interrupts or status report. The point was that the number of times you read may be higher that the number of devices with a device being handled several times. As mentioned above you need to limit this loop to a sane value.
