[RESEND PATCH v1 6/6] i2c: i2c-stm32f7: Implement I2C recovery mechanism

[Pierre Yves MORDRET]

Hi Wolfram,

I do believe there is a misunderstanding of this recovery mechanism at my end.
I intends to solve a problem where my I2C was stall but not the slave.
Thus if bus is busy I reset the IP.

Looking at the recovery API, this recovery is for slave and nothing else with my
case. Therefore I think I have to get move this reset out of recovery API.
Please correct me whether I'm wrong

Slave Recovery mechanism is another story to implement in our platform since we
have to deal with GPIOs.

Let me know
Regards
