For kernel 6.7 I'm having an issue when I shutdown or reboot my
Rockchip RK3326 or Rockchip RK3566 based devices, and I've bisected
the issue down to this specific commit.

When I shutdown or restart the device, I receive messages in the kernel
log like the following:

[ 37.121148] rk3x-i2c fdd40000.i2c: irq in STATE_IDLE, ipd = 0x3
[ 37.122178] rk3x-i2c fdd40000.i2c: irq in STATE_IDLE, ipd = 0x3
[ 37.123212] rk3x-i2c fdd40000.i2c: irq in STATE_IDLE, ipd = 0x3
[ 37.124226] rk3x-i2c fdd40000.i2c: irq in STATE_IDLE, ipd = 0x3
[ 37.125242] rk3x-i2c fdd40000.i2c: irq in STATE_IDLE, ipd = 0x3
[ 37.126133] rk3x-i2c fdd40000.i2c: irq in STATE_IDLE, ipd = 0x1

The device will also occasionally freeze instead of rebooting or
shutting down. The i2c errors are consistent, but the freezing
behavior is not.

Thank you.
