 I'm not sure, this optimization is safe  (
Because, in many cases the access to PMIC IC needs to be allowed till late
stages of suspending (at least till suspend_noirq stage or even later).
For example, on some OMAP SoC Voltage management code need to use services
provided by PMIC IC, which is connected to I2C.

As result, it may cause regression and break PM functionality on some SoCs
if i2c-core will block I2c transfers unconditionally at device's
suspending stage.

May be it will be useful to add just "suspended" field in i2c adapter
structure and provide corresponding accessors.
