Subject: [PATCH 5.4 02/78] i2c: fix bus recovery stop mode timing

From: Russell King <rmk+kernel@...linux.org.uk>

commit cf8ce8b80f8bf9669f6ec4e71e16668430febdac upstream.

The I2C specification states that tsu:sto for standard mode timing must
be at minimum 4us. Pictographically, this is:

SCL: ____/~~~~~~~~~
SDA: _________/~~~~
       ->|    |<- 4us minimum

We are currently waiting 2.5us between asserting SCL and SDA, which is
in violation of the standard. Adjust the timings to ensure that we meet
what is stipulated as the minimum timings to ensure that all devices
correctly interpret the STOP bus transition.

This is more important than trying to generate a square wave with even
duty cycle.
