Will be great.

That's probably because this I2C patch removed the "completion done
after timeout" message. You may try to re-add the message, it should pop
up on the PCIe driver's suspension. The IRQF_NO_SUSPEND flag should fix it.

My assumption was that it should be always fine handle interrupt after
timeout, and thus, the message isn't really needed. But this wasn't a
correct assumption as we see now, so it should be better to keep the
message for the debugging purposes, maybe turn it into dev_info_once().
