No, it's not intention. I'm just trying to make the controller work in
a right way. Without this patch, maybe some other fast cpus have
problem too. I just tested mx31 and mx51. I will add "Without this
patch, i2c on some fast SoCs (for example imx51) will not work". Is it
ok for you?

No, I don't. I don't have device in hand now. If you have, could you
please help do a simple test?
Use hw to simulate multi-master system. Before execute xfer, you first
pull down SDA, then pull down SDC. It simulates a START. and execute
xfer to see whether IBB is set?
