I did my I2C reset analysis many years ago but I found the reason in som old code
I had lying around, just sending 9 clocks will not recover the case when stuck in an
I2C write sequence. Adding START into the sequence keeps the device in START once it has
seen at least one START, then the STOP will release the bus in the end.

Other that that I am just not familiar enough with the new recovery structure.
