Here is the panic log ...

Thanks. I saw this on linux-next earlier this week, but now I am not seeing it and the fix
I posted is not there. So I am not sure what changed to cause this to occur earlier this
week but the problem appears to be gone again. However, at least the fix will prevent such
panics if someone is calling twl_i2c_read/write too early.

Cheers
Jon
