Just a generic comment related to where this might be needed.
Let's try to avoid the slippery slope of making i2c work super
early.. That will just make the race to the bottom initcall
level and defferd probe situation worse :)

It's best to initialize everything late instead of trying to
initialize something early except for what's needed for system
timers and interrupts.

So from that point of view I don't have any issues limiting
atomic i2c to shutdown time only.

Regards,

Tony
