And you have to fix it (touch screen) - not your i2c driver. Otherwise, you can get situation when set of I2C transfers (executed from some kthread/work/threaded_irq/..) will be just interrupted in the middle - usual behavior after this is (I2C timeout) [and/or not-functional I2C client device [and/or I2C bus stuck (worst case)].
In case, somebody is trying to access I2C after .suspend_noirq() stage I2C bus driver should produce big fat warning and, most probably, abort suspend. Above, in general, can be part of I2C core functionality.
