I am afraid here is a serious misunderstanding. The I2C bus recovery
procedure is a documented mechanism how to get a stalled bus back in the
case that a client device holds SDA low. This mechanism consists of 9
SCL pulses. A reset of the IP core is *not a recovery*. If SocFPGA
cannot togle SCL in some way, it cannot do recovery and
adap->bus_recovery_info should be NULL. Or did I miss something?

See, this function is named scl_recovery, but there is no SCL involved.
This is why I think there is the misunderstanding here.
