It should work, but it looks to me more like a hack rather than a proper
fix. At least I haven't seen any other drivers doing anything like that.

I don't have any better suggestions for now, so perhaps it should be a
good enough solution for the starter, combined with setting the
IRQF_NO_SUSPEND flag for I2C interrupt. It should allow drivers like
PCIe to use I2C in the NOIRQ phase.

Maybe it could be worthwhile to try to ask Rafael about how drivers
should handle this situation in regards to the RPM usage.
