Subject: [PATCH] i2c: imx: Fix external abort on interrupt in exit paths

If interrupt comes late, during probe error path or device remove (could be triggered with CONFIG_DEBUG_SHIRQ), the interrupt handler i2c_imx_isr() will access registers with the clock being disabled. This leads to external abort on non-linefetch on Toradex Colibri VF50 module (with Vybrid VF5xx):

Additionally, the i2c_imx_isr() could wake up the wait queue (imx_i2c_struct->queue) before its initialization happens.

The resource-managed framework should not be used for interrupt handling, because the resource will be released too late - after disabling clocks. The interrupt handler is not prepared for such case.
