I will fix this spelling typo on next patch. Thanks.

In the multi-master case, the i2c transfer timeout will execute the aspeed_i2c_recover_bus.
What we noticed when timeout appears, and kernel panic is observed:
-	xfer goes through aspeed_i2c_recovery_bus 
-	inside recovery we can see “SCL hung (state ec0b0000), attempting recovery”. 
-	STOP_CMD is performed but time_left = 0 what causes that aspeed_i2c_reset is called (and returns 0)
-	Going out of timeout handling, release memory, irq handler is invoked and rise interrupt causing that released memory is used.

It just updates master_state for usage safety. The original stop command still be triggered.
