When the `CONFIG_I2C_SLAVE` option is enabled and the device operates as a slave, a situation arises where the master sends a START signal without the accompanying STOP signal. This action results in a persistent I2C bus timeout. The core issue stems from the fact that the i2c controller remains in a slave read state without a timeout mechanism. As a consequence, the bus perpetually experiences timeouts. In this case, the i2c bus will be reset, but the slave_state reset is missing.
