One thing what is unclear to me how does this release the I2C slave that 
potentially keeps the SDA stuck low. Does platform specific reset 
sequence send 9 SCL pulses, toggle HW reset of the clients or cycle 
power of them?

If recovery is only controller point of view then worth to emphasis it 
in the commit log and perhaps add a comment too into 
i2c_socfpga_scl_recovery(). Some might hit an issue that I2C client is 
stuck and wonder why recovery won't work.

This sentence no longer true after v3?

Otherwise code looks good to me.
