This is for power-off case, right? Wouldn't it be clearer then to add a
resume function to pm_ops of the I2C driver which reinit the registers?
Doing it before every transfer might be simpler but is also a bit
implicit or subtle, I'd think.

And for completeness: The above is only for the power-off case. In
module-standby (MSTP bits), register values are always retained.
Correct?
