Hi,

so, the bus recovery patches look fine to me in general.

It is only this one question left which I always had with bus recovery.
Maybe you guys can join me thinking about it.

The I2C specs say in 3.1.16 that the recovery procedure should be used
when SDA is stuck low. So, I do wonder if we should apply the recovery
after a timeout. Stuck SDA might be one reason for timeout, but there
may be others...

Thanks,
