I think you are right. Which brings another question to my mind do we 
need to have a patch to linux-stable too?

David: Your original commit 894acb2f823b ("i2c: designware: Add Intel 
Baytrail PMIC I2C bus support") doesn't add pm_runtime_disabled test to 
dw_i2c_remove(). I guess there is possibility power down the shared 
controller by having CONFIG_I2C_DESIGNWARE_PLATFORM=m and then unloading 
the driver?
