Thank you for doing that! Glad to see the new helper function works for
you as well. The initialization code is all well, but I wonder about the
use of i2c_recover_bus(). Recovery should be tried only if it is
detected that SDA is pulled low when the bus should be free. So, you
shouldn't call i2c_recover_bus() in unconditionally in probe(). Can your
HW detect if SDA is stuck low?
