Thanks in advance, this will be really helpful! I don't have Bay
Trail/Cherry Trail, so I've only tested that build of Bay Trail
semaphore isn't broken.

I would like to point to new locks in i2c_dw_disable() method as
something to be the most fragile and error-prone, will be great if you
can verify this thoroughly. This function is invoked on both
dw_i2c_driver.remove() and dw_i2c_plat_suspend() paths. Considering
that Bay Trail semaphore means that i2c bus is shared with PMIC, I'm
not sure whether all corner cases are secured especially on platform
suspend.

This was partially discussed with AMD folks and you are right that I
should include someone from AMD to take a look at this. Thanks for all
your comments!
