If the hardware is still accessing memory after SMMU translation

like NoC/interconnect errors.

So, implement shutdown callback for i2c driver to suspend the bus
during system "reboot" or "shutdown".

Do we need patch 1 after patch 2 was applied? I always thought all
devices are suspended before shutdown/reboot?


Yes, both patch 1 and patch 2 are required.
Devices are not suspended during shutdown/reboot.

Nice to see that 'mark_adapter_suspended' becomes useful again!

Thanks,
