Yes, we're working on fixing CFI:

https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20220610233513.1798771-1-samitolvanen@google.com/

In the meantime, the possible workarounds are all more or less hacky.
Perhaps a slightly less intrusive alternative would be to add a
__cficanonical attribute to i2c_generic_scl_recovery and use the
function_nocfi() macro when referencing it elsewhere?

Kees, any thoughts on the least terrible path forward here?

Zhipeng, if you want to test this on an older kernel, please note that
you'll also need to cherry-pick commit
e6f3b3c9c109ed57230996cf4a4c1b8ae7e36a81.
