I have never heard of something like this. Unsuprisingly, I can
not recommend doing it this way. But we all know hardware...

And while we could think about reusing the bus_recovery_infrastructure,
I don't think it is worth the hazzle. So, doing this GPIO fallback may
well be the best we can do now.
