Dear Tyrone,


Thank you for your patch.

Thank you for the description. For the summary/title it’d be great, if 
you were more specific. For example:

i2c: npcm: Assign client address earlier for `i2c_recover_bus()`

It’d be great if you noted the commit, your patch fixes, so it’s clear 
since when the problem has been present.
