The warning is triggered because I2C transfers can still be attempted while the controller is already suspended, due to inappropriate ordering of the system sleep callbacks.
If the controller is autosuspended, there is no way to wake it up once runtime PM disabled (in suspend_late()). During system resume, the I2C controller will be available only after runtime PM is re-enabled (in resume_early()). However, this may be too late for some devices.
Wake up the controller in the suspend() callback while runtime PM is still enabled. The I2C controller will remain available until the suspend_noirq() callback (pm_runtime_force_suspend()) is called. During resume, the I2C controller can be restored by the resume_noirq() callback (pm_runtime_force_resume()). Finally, the resume() callback re-enables autosuspend. As a result, the I2C controller can remain available until the system enters suspend_noirq() and from resume_noirq().

Tested on RZ/G3E SMARC EVK by putting the display into deep sleep and resume the display that has ADV bridge connected to it.
Cheers, Biju
v1->v2:
- Taking as reference commit: 4262df2a69c3 ("i2c: imx-lpi2c: make controller available until the system enters suspend_noirq() and from resume_noirq().") reworked the patch with a similar approach. Updated commit body accordingly.
