blindly returning IRQ_HANDLED won't do you any good either. Your line
will be re-enabled anyway and you'll get another IRQ even being fired.

If you have found a bug in the driver, fix it, don't try to mask it.

what happens when transfer is finished ? After we come out of the loop
in omap_i2c_xfer() we will mark last busy and
pm_runtime_put_autosuspend()

633 static int
634 omap_i2c_xfer(struct i2c_adapter *adap, struct i2c_msg msgs[], int num)
635 {
636 struct omap_i2c_dev *dev = i2c_get_adapdata(adap);
637 int i;
638 int r;
639
640 r = pm_runtime_get_sync(dev->dev);
641 if (IS_ERR_VALUE(r))
642 goto out;
643
644 r = omap_i2c_wait_for_bb(dev);
645 if (r < 0)
646 goto out;
647
648 if (dev->set_mpu_wkup_lat != NULL)
649 dev->set_mpu_wkup_lat(dev->dev, dev->latency);
650
651 for (i = 0; i < num; i++) {
652 r = omap_i2c_xfer_msg(adap, &msgs[i], (i == (num - 1)));
653 if (r != 0)
654 break;
655 }
656
657 if (r == 0)
658 r = num;
659
660 omap_i2c_wait_for_bb(dev);
661
662 if (dev->set_mpu_wkup_lat != NULL)
663 dev->set_mpu_wkup_lat(dev->dev, -1);
664
665 out:
666 pm_runtime_mark_last_busy(dev->dev);
667 pm_runtime_put_autosuspend(dev->dev);
668 return r;
669 }

When that timer expires, we will mask the controller's IRQs on our
->runtime_suspend().

Now, if another IRQ comes before we ->runtime_suspend(), then we need to
figure out what's generating that event, we don't want to be "fixing"
what's not broken in this driver.

that patch is fine, but doesn't seem like has nothing to do with what
you're talking about here.

nor is your explanation of the problem. It's not sufficient.

I'm telling you that we should never reach this case because that's the
assumption that the driver makes. It assumes that no IRQs will be fired
unless a transfer is started and by the time that for loop ends, no
transfer will be started.

explain to me how would we get to this point, meaning the IRQ thread
handler, with the device disabled.
