But then, shouldn't that means that this affects all RTCs on an i2c bus?

I'm not completely proficient with PM but shouldn't using _noirq
propagate to the parents? Then you are sure that the resume is called
with interrupts disabled and this also means that the i2c driver has
resumed (hopefully with interrupts disabled).

I must admit that I don't know and I hope that the answer would also
answer whether moving all the RTC resume to resume_early is safe. (See
