Hi Sasha,

can you drop this from the v5.6 stable queue please? Jon discovered that
this patch introduces a regression in v5.7, and since we don't have a
good understanding of why this is breaking things I think it'd be best
if we reverted it for v5.7 until we come up with a good fix.

I think the same applies for the other i2c/tegra patch that's 31/38 of
this series.

Thanks,
Thierry
