Ok
Actually I was thinking it is only an issue with
<quote>
/* dynamic mode seem to suffer from problems if we just flushes
* fifos and the next message is a TX with len 0 (only addr)
* reset the IP instead of just flush fifos
*/
xiic_reinit(i2c);
<\quote>
I think as of now since read is also impacted we can revert it.
