The handling of glitches from initialization looks generic to me. I see that there are specific clear/reset routines that are in the (un)prepare_recovery() callbacks, but these callbacks are not replaced by the generic i2c recovery and will still be used if given by the driver. The only thing the generic recovery does is to switch the pinmux state. We can discuss whether we want to change the pinmux state first or call the (un)preapre_recovery(). What I had in mind for the generic recovery was to just handle the common parts that follow the same bindings, which is getting the gpios and changing the pinmux states before recovering.
