Devin,

I just checked.  The CX23885 driver *is* setting up to allow slaves to
stretch the clock.

By analysis, I have confirmed that Jean's sugguested patch that I moved
forward was wrong for the hardware's behavior.  When the cx23885 I2C
routines decide to set the I2C_EXTEND flag (and maybe the I2C_NOSTOP
flag), we most certainly should *not* be expecting an ACK from the
particular hardware register.  The original commit should certainly be
reverted.

Checking for slave ACK/NAK will need to be done with a little more care;
so for now, I'll settle for ignoring them.

Regards,
Andy
