Hi,

Thank you for this new version.

I've been running some tests and I'm afraid that those have
exposed multiple issues:

1) It seems that adap->dev.parent can be NULL in some cases, specifically
this patch causes the i915 driver to crash during probe on an Apollo Lake
laptop with an eDP panel. I've attached a fixup patch which fixes this.

2) There are multiple suspend stages: prepare suspend, suspend_late,
suspend_no_irq and several devices which need access to i2c-transfers
suspend from the suspend_late or even the suspend_no_irq handler.

The way this works is that first all devices are moved to the prepared
state, then a second run is done moving all devices over to suspended,
then a third run moving all devices over to suspend_late, etc.

To make this work, e.g. the i2c-designware driver has a nop suspend
callback and does the actual suspend from its suspend_late or
suspend_no_irq callback. But the is_suspended flag we are testing for
now gets set during the suspend phase. So when we are then asked to
do an i2c-transfer during the suspend_late phase we get a false-positive
triggering of the:

	if (WARN(device_is_suspended(adap->dev.parent),
		 "Accessing already suspended I2C/SMBus adapter"))
		return -ESHUTDOWN;

WARN and a return of -ESHUTDOWN, because the adapter is in the
suspended state, but it has not actually been suspended / moved
to the D3 low-power state as that happens later when we reach
e.g. the suspend_no_irq phase of the suspend.

This is not only a problem with the somewhat complex PMIC
situation on some Cherry Trail devices, but it also breaks the
i915 driver since as a PCI device the i915 device also only
really gets turned off from the suspend_no_irq phase of the suspend.

Sorry, this is something which I should have realized before, but
well I didn't.

TL;DR: really only the adapter driver knows when the device is
put in such a state that it can no longer do transfers, as it
actually turns of clks / moves it D3 / etc. Which may happen at
any of the 3 suspend phases so any "core" based solution is going
to get this wrong.

I share your desire to have the check for this shared in core code,
but I'm afraid that just is not going to work.

Regards,

Hans
