Hi Stephen,

Sorry for the long delay with the response.

There is purity, and there is practicality. Drivers normally prepare
device for suspend and waking up from suspend, however I2C core does
handle enabling interrupt as wakeup source because this saves on
boilerplate. I2C core already does a lot of preparing for interrupt
being requested by drivers (parsing ACPI and DT tables, etc).

Yes, that would be quite large patch, and probably not needed for
devices/buses that do not use out of bound signalling of attention.

I do not think keeping counter balanced would be important here, as we
are shutting down, and upon reboot everything will be reinitialized from
scratch. Also, we are lucky in that there is just a handful of I2C
drivers defining shutdown() methods.

I'm afraid someone has to... I'm adding Wolfram to CC to get his take on
this.

Thanks.
