Arbitration Lost is an expected situation in a multimaster environment. I2C controller (IP) correctly detect and report AL. The only one visible reason for reseting IP in the AL case is to avoid advisory 1.94 (omap3) and errata i595 (omap4): "I2C: After an Arbitration is Lost the Module Incorrectly Starts the Next Transfer". Errata workaround states: "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 set MST and STT bits separately and doesn't create condition for errata. So the reset is not necessary. Also corrected return value for AL to -EAGAIN. Tested on Beagleboard XM C.
