> We have a bus recovery infrastructure in the core. Tying your code into it should be easy. You probably just need a 'struct i2c_bus_recovery_info', populate the 'recover_bus' callback with 'tegra_i2c_issue_bus_clear()', and attach this struct to the 'struct adapter' if the IP core supports bus recovery, otherwise leave it empty.

OK, Will update to use i2c_bus_recovery_info
