have you looked for erratas around that ? Maybe you just found a silicon
issue. Why is AL bit being set ? Have you tried to reach the IP owner ?

If there are no other I2C masters in the system, there will be no
arbitration, hence we would never loose the arbitration.

then you need to figure out why that's happening, right ? What do you do
to trigger that particular condition, have you looked in the wire to see
if you find a real NACK or is the OMAP I2C controller misbehaving ?

that's alright, then fix only that... OTOH, you don't want to ack a
read while data is still sitting in the FIFO, data you haven't read out
of the FIFO, I mean. Not sure if that could happen though.
