1) This doesn't make much sense.. if client could access I2C during of
tegra_i2c_init execution, then what stops it to perform the access
before the lock is taken?

2) The whole point of the i2c_mark_adapter_* API is to catch those
faulty clients that have a broken suspend-resume sequence. Client will
get a -ESHUTDOWN on trying to issue I2C transfer while controller is
marked as suspended.

3) Please don't use async suspend-resume where it doesn't make sense.

Corollary: you should drop the locking because it doesn't do anything
useful.
