Hi all,

This series adds some resets for SMBus and for the I2C core. Along with
it, we make SMBus slave error printing a little more helpful.

These reset issues were very infrequent, they would maybe occur in 1 out
of hundreds of resets in our testing, but the way they happen is pretty
straightforward.
Basically as long as a reset happens in the middle of a transaction, the
state of the old transaction would still partially be there after the
reset. Once a new transaction comes in, the partial stale state can
cause the new transaction to incorrectly fail.

Thanks,
Joe

Accidentally typed Corey's email address wrong in the initial send, oops.

This seems wrong to me.  In a real system, the reset would be done on
the smbus master and not necessarily on the mux (though I looked at a
few of the PCA954x devices and they appear to have reset lines, but
different systems may drive that reset differently).

It seems to me that the bug is the smbus master device isn't getting
reset in a system reset.  Just adding the reset logic there would be
easier and more consistent with the real hardware.

Oops, sorry, missed this in my inbox.

That sounds good to me, I'll send up a v2 that resets the SMBus master
instead of the mux.
