There is a long standing bug which causes I2C communication not to
work on the Armada 3700 based boards. The first patch in the series
fixes that regression. The second patch improves recovery to make it
more robust which helps to avoid communication problems with certain
SFP modules.

Hi, I see the series have not been merged so far.
Without it, I2C is completely broken on Armada 3720 if I2C recovery is used, and
without I2C recovery, certain SFP modules will also cause the bus to hang.

Robert

Changes in v3:
- rebase on tip of i2c/for-current
- remove Imre's tag from the cover letter, and replace his SoB tag to
Reviewed-by in the individual patches
- rework the second patch so it does not need changes in the I2C core code,
and drop the first one as it is not needed now
- Link to v2: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20250811-i2c-pxa-fix-i2c-communication-v2-0-ca42ea818dc9@xxxxxxxxx

Changes in v2:
- collect offered tags
- rebase and retest on tip of i2c/for-current
- Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20250511-i2c-pxa-fix-i2c-communication-v1-0-e9097d09a015@xxxxxxxxx
