Tommy has submitted a similar fix:

 https://lore.kernel.org/linux-i2c/20230906004910.4157305-1-tommy_huang@aspeedtech.com/

His change is very heavy handed; it reinitialises the bus including
re-parsing the device tree (!).

Should we have merged this fix instead? If not, are you able to
confirm that his change fixes your issue?

Cheers,

Joel
