Hi, Kevin.

If the i2c controller during suspend will generate an interrupt, it can
lead to unpredictable behaviour in the kernel.

Based on the logic of the kernel code interrupts from i2c should be
prohibited during suspend. Kernel writes 0 to the I2C_IE register in the
omap_i2c_runtime_suspend() function. In the other side kernel writes
saved interrupt flags to the I2C_IE register in
omap_i2c_runtime_resume() function. I.e. interrupts should be disabled
during suspend.

This works for chips with version1 registers scheme. Interrupts are
disabled during suspend. For chips with version2 scheme registers
writting 0 to the I2C_IE register does nothing (because now the
I2C_IRQENABLE_SET register is located at this address ). This register
is used to enable interrupts. For disabling interrupts I2C_IRQENABLE_CLR
register should be used.

I've checked that interrupts in the i2c controller are still enabled
after writting 0 to the I2C_IE register. But with my patch interrupts
are disabled in the omap_i2c_runtime_suspend() function.
