Wait a sec. Resetting a controller at the end of a failed transfer might
make sense if the controller is otherwise in an confused state.

Full bus recovery (9 pulses) should be done at the beginning of a
transfer when SDA is low, though.

So, I'd actually suggest to apply this patch and add full bus recovery
based on SDA low at the beginning of a transfer seperately.

What do you think?

All the best,
