What I meant is that it looks like the only use of it is putting
together a default
recovery function, but I was wondering if it is fair to use it on its own.
Basically what I was asking is whether I could use i2c_generic_scl_recovery
in the case where SCL is hung.

I think I have a pretty good idea of what to do, I should probably just put
together an RFC patch.
