ACPI / LPSS: Always disable I2C host controllers
commit 3293c7b8 upstream. On Baytrail and Braswell the BIOS might leave the I2C host controllers enabled, probably because it uses them for its own purposes. This is fine in normal cases because the I2C driver will disable the hardware when it is probed anyway. However, in case of suspend to disk it is different story. If the driver happens to be compiled as a module the boot kernel never loads the driver thus leaving host controllers enabled upon loading the hibernation image. The I2C host controller interrupt mask register has default value of 0x8ff, in other words it has most of the interrupts unmasked. When combined with the fact that the host controller is enabled, the driver immediately starts getting interrupts even before its resume hook is called (once IO-APIC is resumed). Since the driver is not prepared for this it will crash the kernel due to NULL pointer derefence because dev->msgs is NULL. Unfortunately we were not able to get full backtrace to from the console which could be reproduced here. In order to fix this even when the driver is compiled as module, we disable the I2C host controllers in byt_i2c_setup() before devices are created.
