Subject: [PATCH] i2c: cadence: try reset when master receive arbitration lost

When the adapter receive arbitration lost error interrupts,
cdns_i2c_master_xfer return to the caller directly instead of resetting
the adapter which resulted in the adapter being out of control.

So when driver detect err_status such as arbitration lost,
then try to repair and fix it.
