Luckily I2C doesn't use DMA.

For cases when we have a separate DMA controller devices (CherryTrail /
BayTrail) we have to be sure that I2C device is going to be suspended
first and resumed last to be operational. DMA itself uses LATE PM ops
IIRC (drivers/dma/dw/platform.c) and it becomes possible ordering issue
if both drivers are on the same level of PM ops.

P.S. For now, as I noted above, it would be not a problem, I think I
just need to mention this potential issue in the future with some
drivers (like SPI or UART, which are using DMA) on SoCs like CherryTrail
or if I2C going to support DMA.
