In the current upstream kernel suspend/resume can't be simply moved to the
'noirq' stage because resume invokes tegra_i2c_init() which uses runtime PM and
that doesn't work with the IRQ's being disabled. But things do not work even
with the tegra_i2c_init() changed to work with the disabled IRQ's, like I wrote
above the I2C transfer fails (due to timeout) and a "fix" for that failure was
to remove reset_control_assert/deassert from the tegra_i2c_init(). So I'd go for
a complete suspend/resume removal for now as it is causes problem.
