Setting up the bus_recovery looks OK. However, I don't see any call to
i2c_recover_bus(), so the bus_recovery is never used. Did you test this
and see an effect?

Also, I think we should merge this patch "[PATCH v3] i2c: at91: Send bus
clear command if SCL or SDA is down" into this series. The crucial thing
for both is when to apply the recovery (at the beginning of a
transfer!). The rest is "just" that some HW needs a bus_recovery_info
for pinctrl/GPIO handling (from this patch), while other HW needs a
bus_recovery_info with a custom recover_bus callback.

Opinions?
