The I2C_BUS_CLEAR and I2C_STOP_ON_BUS GENI sequencer opcodes release a
stuck I2C bus, but the GPI DMA driver has no way to emit these
zero-payload control commands, so an I2C controller using GPI DMA
cannot recover the bus.

Add I2C_BUS_CLEAR and I2C_STOP_ON_BUS to enum i2c_op so I2C drivers can
request them through gpi_i2c_config.op. Handle them in
gpi_create_i2c_tre() by emitting a CONFIG TRE (when set_config is set)
followed by a GO TRE with IEOT set and no DMA TRE, and reserve the
matching number of ring entries in gpi_prep_slave_sg().


start with problem statement which is being fixed by the respective patch.

Rest of the message can be simplified as below - more you can add.

Allow GPI DMA clients to issue the GENI I2C_BUS_CLEAR and
I2C_STOP_ON_BUS commands used for I2C bus recovery.

Add the new opcodes to the GPI I2C interface and generate the
corresponding CONFIG/GO TRE sequence without data DMA transfers.
Adjust TRE reservation logic to account for these commands.

Not only SPI, its for all GENI protocols. Can say common function for all protocols.

May be once such conditions are rising, we need to think of better way in design to handle such cases.
