Right. This happens also when the platform powers off the device.

What I had in mind is something like below:

static int i2c_dw_prepare(struct device *dev)
{
	return pm_runtime_suspended(dev);
}

static void i2c_dw_complete(struct device *dev)
{
	if (dev->power.direct_complete)
		pm_request_resume(dev);
}

In other words it checks if the device is already runtime suspended and
prevents ->suspend() etc. from being called.

If that does not work (I didn't try as this problem does not exist on
ACPI platforms because we have PM domain handling things) then we do not
have much of a choice than do what you suggest and runtime resume the
device on ->suspend()
