Hi, Alex. Thanks for your review.

yes. I will talk it below.

My initial idea was to keep the I2C state in its initial state before each
transmission. 

But after testing, this is not necessary. I will move it to `probe` function.

It is necessary to enable before each transmission. 

I have tested moving the `spacemit_i2c_enable` to the probe function. 

It will cause transmission errors.

As for the `enable_irq`, I think it can be moved to the `probe` function.

I will support standard mode in next version.

We just need to modify the function `spacemit_i2c_init`.
