Alright, I tested v5.7-rc3 with this patch reverted:

a900aeac2537 i2c: tegra: Better handle case where CPU0 is busy for a long time

and the results came back positive, so I think we can leave patch:

8814044fe0fa i2c: tegra: Synchronize DMA before termination

in. But then again, I see that Dmitry posted this yesterday:

https://lkml.org/lkml/2020/4/26/481

which seems like it would be related to this and potentially be a
follow-up fix for some corner cases? So I'm not sure how well this whole
set has been tested yet.

Maybe a better solution would be for the DMA synchronization patch to go
into the 5.8 queue instead to make sure we get more testing cycles.
