HSI2C_MASTER_ST_LOSE state is not documented properly, extensive tests
show that hardware is usually able to recover from this state without
interrupting the transfer. On the other side enforcing transfer repetition
in such case does not help in many situations, especially on busy systems
and causes -EAGAIN and -ETIMEOUT errors. Moreover documentation says that
such state can be caused by slave clock stretching, and should not be treated
as an error.

Can this be applied independently of my comments to patch 2?

Yes, please apply it alone. I will continue work on patch 2.

I just thought it might be nice to have a comment where you removed the
code summarizing your findings. So we will remember about this in the
future. Makes sense?

Forgive me delayed response - holiday.

The code removed was something extra, so I am not sure if it is
necessary to add comment to the code, git log should be enough.

Anyway I will post patches dealing with HSI2C_MASTER_ST_LOSE on
transaction start very soon, so I can add relevant comment there.

Hi Andrzej,

No worries!

If somebody later discovers this "new bit" and implements support for
it, I am not sure this person will check git log to see if there has
ever been support added and later removed. Also, it helps me reviewing
when gory details are explicitly mentioned in the code.

Please do.
