Subject: [PATCH] i2c: xiic: Try re-initialization on bus busy timeout

In the event that the I2C bus was powered down when the I2C controller driver loads, or some spurious pulses occur on the I2C bus, it's possible that the controller detects a spurious I2C "start" condition. In this situation it may continue to report the bus is busy indefinitely and block the controller from working.

The "single-master" DT flag can be specified to disable bus busy checks entirely, but this may not be safe to use in situations where other I2C masters may potentially exist.

In the event that the controller reports "bus busy" for too long when starting a transaction, we can try reinitializing the controller to see if the busy condition clears. This allows recovering from this scenario.
