Subject: [PATCH] i2c-bfin-twi: handle faulty slave devices better

From: Michael Hennerich <michael.hennerich@...log.com>

Faulty slave devices might drive SDA low after a transfer finishes.  So,
when this scenario is detected, have the master generate up to 8 extra
clocks until the SDA is properly released.
