No existing solution. Long standing, known problem.

IIRC the latest design we discussed is to add a new callback to struct
i2c_algorithm like 'master_xfer_irqless' and teach the I2C core when to
call which callback. Which might not be so super straightforward because
for most drivers (except PMICs probably) using I2C when interrupts are
disabled is a bug and we also shouldn't hide that by providing a generic
fallback.

That's my version of the current status. If there is more or I mixed
something up, I'd like to hear about it...
