Arbitration Lost is a expected situation in a multimaster environment. IP correctly detect it. The only reason for reseting IP in the AL case is to be sure to avoid advisory 1.94 (omap3) and errata i595 (omap4): "I2C: After an Arbitration is Lost the Module Incorrectly Starts the Next Transfer" with workaround: "The MST and STT bits inside I2C_CON should be set to 1 at the same moment (avoid setting the MST bit to 1 while STT = 0)." The driver never writes MST and STT bits separately and doesn't create condition for errata. So the reset is not necessary. Tested on Beagleboard XM C.
