Maxime Bizon 3269bb63eb i2c-mv64xxx: Fix random oops at boot
I have a Marvell board which has the same i2c hw block than mv64xxx, so
I'm trying to use i2c-mv64xxx driver.

But I get the following random oops at boot:

Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000002
Backtrace:

The oops is caused by a spurious interrupt that occurs when request_irq
is called. mv64xxx_i2c_fsm() tries to read drv_data->msg, which is NULL.

I noticed that hardware init is done after requesting irq. Thus any
pending irq from previous hardware usage may cause this.

The following patch fixes it:
