The reason for having both i2c_bus_release() and
i2c_schedule_pending_master() is that i2c_bus_release() sort of pairs
with i2c_bus_master(). They either set or clear the bus->bh member.

In the current design, the controller (in this case the Aspeed I2C) is
an "implicit" master (it does not have a bottom half driving it), so
there is no bus->bh to clear.

I should (and will) write some documentation on the asynchronous API.
