One thing to improve:

The inner if-block should be a seperate function, then you could do in
probe:

if (has_clear_cmd)
rinfo->recover_bus = <the above function>;
else
rinfo->recover_bus = i2c_generic_scl_recovery;

Then, i2c_recover_bus() will always do the right thing. More readable
and better maintainable IMO.

If this is not possible (maybe I overlooked some logic), then maybe this
will work:

rinfo->recover_bus = <your custom function>;

and put the

if (has_clear_cmd)

block there.
