Thanks Thierry, I can repro this on Tegra20 inconsistently and found, if current cpu is not cpu0 when doing "machine_shutdown" (it will call "smp_send_stop"), i2c controller will failed to do any transaction (looks like gic interrupt will be disabled), I'll debug further to find out the root cause.

By the way, Tegra30 is good since it will always be cpu0 when doing "machine_shutdown", I still don't know why it makes the difference against Tegra20 since I'm not familiar with those cpu stuffs and what make it behave differently, I'll study a bit, thanks.
