Thank you! I don't have other solutions either, although /I think/
potentially it should be possible to differentiate the I2C error here.
On NVIDIA Tegra I see that I2C controller always gets a h/w NAK on TS
wake-up and it returns -EREMOTEIO in this case. IIRC, some other
non-NVIDIA I2C drivers always return -EIO on any error, so this method
isn't universal, but certainly it feels like there is some a room for
further improvements.
