This is why I have used word 'similar' :) Unfortunately chip does not
provide method to send exactly 9 pulses.
But according to [1] it is the worst case scenario, usually less than 9
pulses is enough.
Another solution I see is to READ_DATA twice, this way we will have 16
pulses.

You are right, I though I do not have precise info that SDA is stuck
low, but I guess status HSI2C_MASTER_ST_LOSE indicates is, I will check it.

If the problem is detected in master_xfer driver uses internal function
exynos5_i2c_recovery,
but function exynos5_i2c_recover_bus is called by i2c_recover_bus, and
the latter can be called from any context,
this is why I have added locking.
