Opting in in this fashion will still require changes in the majority
of drivers (any I2C touchscreen or touchpad may be touched while system
is being shut down, so all of them will need to have interrupt freed or
disabled, or they may initiate I2C transfer). How about something like
this;

diff --git a/drivers/i2c/i2c-core-base.c b/drivers/i2c/i2c-core-base.c
index 38107c0c318c..c835e7bb71de 100644

Thanks.
