This looks weird. I don't find any other drivers that needs this, what
is so different with this one?

Ditto.

I have been following the development for the i2c-designware driver
for a while. Some time back I also tried to fix the similar problems
as you are currently [1] are. Back then, I picked the same approach as
John Stultz did recently [2].

To summarize my view, I don't understand the justification of using
the direct_complete feature for i2c-designware. To me, it just add
complexity to the driver that we really should try to avoid. I think
we need something else here.

To me, the proper solution is to use the
pm_runtime_force_suspend|resume() helpers to deal with system
suspend/resume. However I understand that the behavior of the ACPI PM
domain currently prevents us from doing this. That said, perhaps we
should instead try to make the ACPI PM domain to better collaborate
with drivers using pm_runtime_force_suspend|resume()? I have been
investigating that and started to cook some patches, although I have
not yet been able to post something. If you think it could make sense,
I can pick it up.
