Hi Wolfram,

Thanks for your patch!

This is pre-existing, but if rcar_i2c_do_reset() returns an error,
that means the I2C block couldn't get out of reset.  Are we sure we
can still do PIO transfers in that case, or should this be considered
a fatal error?

This is a pre-existing check, but do you really need it?
This condition will be true if the reset is still asserted, which
could happen due to some glitch, or force-booting into a new kernel
using kexec.  And AFAIUI, that should be resolved by the call to
rcar_i2c_do_reset() above.
