Hi Mika,

In current driver implementation, I2c controller is enabled, then disabled 
every time inside i2c_dw_xfer. So I think the interrupt masking should be done 
inside i2c_dw_xfer_init, where the controller is enabled.

i2c_dw_xfer(struct i2c_adapter *adap, struct i2c_msg msgs[], int num)
{
...
        /* start the transfers */
        i2c_dw_xfer_init(dev);
...
        /*
         * We must disable the adapter before unlocking the &dev->lock mutex
         * below. Otherwise the hardware might continue generating interrupts
         * which in turn causes a race condition with the following transfer.
         * Needs some more investigation if the additional interrupts are
         * a hardware bug or this driver doesn't handle them correctly yet.
         */
        __i2c_dw_enable(dev, false);
...
}


Thanks,
Wenkai

Please move this to i2c_dw_init() as I previously commented. This can only 
happen once the controller comes out of reset (either boot, or resume from 
system sleep).
