[PATCH] I2C: i2c-algo-pca -- gracefully handle a busy bus I've been running with this patch for a while now, and while I've never seen it trigger except with buggy hardware I think it is a cleaner way to handle a busy bus. I had -EBUSY until about 10 minutes ago but -EIO seems to be what most of the existing algo drivers will return in the same circumstances.
