Because of long leave, so sorry for late reply.

I understand what you said, if enable all LPSS devices suspend/resume asynchronously, the system can't resume sometimes on ASUS T100TA(BayTrail-T SoC). But, I have verified that the system can resume normally every time if enable only i2c controller async mode and let other LPSS devices in sync mode on ASUS T100TA.  I have no Braswell and cherryTrail platforms, so no verification test on them.

I have submitted a new version of this patch to move the device_enable_async_suspend() call into i2c_dw_proble() function - "[PATCH v2] i2c/designware: enable i2c controller to suspend/resume asynchronously".
