It is aggressive, but I don't see the harm in doing this on every error.
There are some other error conditions with this hardware which may
require the clock toggling, such as "bus arbitration lost." I think this
is the safest option for this hardware, and this routine has been tested
for many years.

I see that the generic implementation breaks the loop if it sees the
clock isn't high after setting it, or if SDA goes high. I think it's
safer to finish the reset for our hardware. Plus, we actually have
different registers for setting 0 or 1 to the clock/data, so we save
some cpu cycles by doing it directly instead of implementing set_scl/sda
and having to check val every time :)

If you feel very strongly that this recovery procedure needs to be
reduced, then I will work on that and have to do some extensive testing.

Thanks!
Eddie
