HID: i2c-hid: Suspend i2c-hid devices in remove
In the i2c-hid remove() function we currently try to power off, depopulate our child device, and free our resources. That's OK, but... * If the i2c-hid device is on a power rail that can't turn off (either an always-on or a shared power rail) we won't try to put the device in a low power state during remove(). This probably doesn't matter for very many devices but it could be nice in some instances. * If the i2c-hid device somehow manages to generate an interrupt after we tried to power off it is conceivable that the interrupt could arrive during or after the call to hid_destroy_device() but before the call to free_irq(). That could cause a crash since our IRQ handler isn't expecting it. One could imagine this happening in the case where we couldn't turn off (see the previous bullet) or, possibly, if the interrupt line could glitch shortly after the device powered off. Let's call the suspend code during remove to avoid these issues. That will put the device into a low power state and also disable interrupts. Technically, one could consider this a "fix" of commit 4a200c3b ("HID: i2c-hid: introduce HID over i2c specification implementation"). However, since the above bullet points are more theoretical than problems seen on real systems and since the remove() of an i2c-hid touchscreen isn't terribly likely to be called in production, it's probably not worth the bother of trying to backport it.
