Looks like the comment could be removed altogether because it doesn't
make sense since interrupt handler is under xfer_lock which is kept
locked during of tegra_i2c_xfer_msg().
I would push a separate patch to remove this comment because of xfer_lock in ISR now.


Moreover the comment says that "PACKET_XFER_COMPLETE is not maskable",
but then what I2C_INT_PACKET_XFER_COMPLETE masking does?

I2C_INT_PACKET_XFER_COMPLETE masking support available in Tegra chips newer than Tegra30 allows one to not see interrupt after Packet transfer complete. With the xfer_lock in ISR the scenario discussed in comment can be ignored.
