It should "work" only in conjunction with my I2C patch, otherwise you'll
get a spurious I2C timeout error. And it will "work" only because
interrupt is handled manually after the timeout, meaning that yours
suspending time will take few hundreds ms more.

I2C driver isn't broken, PCIe driver is. IMO.

Both yours variants are not going to be a backportable fix for the
stable kernels, they won't fix the suspended interrupt problem. What I'm
missing?
