For me v4.2-rc5 works, i.e. TPA6130A2 can still play loudly to
headphones. Don't know were there any i2c etc regression before it or
how easy it would be to reproduce.

Logs below made me thinking can it be a HW issue? Although if it is an
HW issue it shouldn't work sometimes I guess. Do you have any earlier
well known configuration you could try is it an SW regression or
something else?

-121 == EREMOTEIO which is returned from i2c-omap.c when there is no ACK
from the chip.

If SCL is really stuck it also explains why chip doesn't acknowledge.
