They depend on 3/5, which is an extension to [1] and makes the
respective device available to its sys-off handler.

1/5 and 2/5 avoid a warning which is shown if the handler is called from
an emergency restart (e.g. panic()). The reason behind it is that the
i2c transfer currently doesn't recognize that it should be atomic in
this phase and utilizes the DMA instead, which schedules out while
waiting for completion ("Voluntary context switch within RCU read-side
critical section!").
