Maybe my comment is a bit disturbing.Our purpose is not to call i2c and
use interrupts after _noirq pauses.So We use
i2c_mark_adapter_suspended&i2c_mark_adapter_resumed to block these i2c
transfers， There will not have any IRQ driven I2C transfer after this
point:
        arch_suspend_disable_irqs();
        BUG_ON(!irqs_disabled());
But some device driver will do i2c transfer after
dpm_noirq_resume_devices in dpm_resume_noirq(PMSG_RESUME) when our
driver irq hasn't resume.
	void dpm_resume_noirq(pm_message_t state)
	{
        	dpm_noirq_resume_devices(state);
        	resume_device_irqs();
        	device_wakeup_disarm_wake_irqs();
        	cpuidle_resume();
	}
.master_xfer_atomic() seems to be invalid for this question at this
time?
