We have a bus recovery infrastructure in the core. Tying your code into
it should be easy. You probably just need a 'struct
i2c_bus_recovery_info', populate the 'recover_bus' callback with
'tegra_i2c_issue_bus_clear()', and attach this struct to the 'struct
adapter' if the IP core supports bus recovery, otherwise leave it empty.
Then, you can...

... remove the if here because the core will check for a valid
i2c_bus_recovery_info...

... and use simply i2c_recover_bus() here.

This will help making bus recovery use consistent across drivers.
