Here is the new commit log, feel free to let me know if further changes are required:
Replaced pm_runtime_put() with pm_runtime_put_sync_suspend() to ensure
the runtime suspend is invoked immediately when unregistering a slave.
This prevents a race condition where suspend was skipped when
unregistering and registering slave in quick succession.
For example, consider the rapid sequence of
`delete_device -> new_device -> delete_device -> new_device`.
In this sequence, it is observed that the dw_i2c_plat_runtime_suspend() might
not be invoked after `delete_device` operation.
This is because after `delete_device` operation, when the
pm_runtime_put() is about to trigger suspend, the following `new_device`
operation might race and cancel the suspend.
If that happens, during the `new_device` operation,
dw_i2c_plat_runtime_resume() is skipped (since there was no suspend), which
means `i_dev->init()`, i.e. i2c_dw_init_slave(), is skipped.
Since i2c_dw_init_slave() is skipped, i2c_dw_configure_fifo_slave() is
skipped too, which leaves `DW_IC_INTR_MASK` unconfigured. If we inspect
the interrupt mask register using devmem, it will show as zero.
Example shell script to reproduce the issue:
```
#!/bin/sh
SLAVE_LADDR=0x1010
SLAVE_BUS=13
NEW_DEVICE=/sys/bus/i2c/devices/i2c-$SLAVE_BUS/new_device
DELETE_DEVICE=/sys/bus/i2c/devices/i2c-$SLAVE_BUS/delete_device
# Create initial device
echo slave-24c02 $SLAVE_LADDR > $NEW_DEVICE
sleep 2
# Rapid sequence of
# delete_device -> new_device -> delete_device -> new_device
echo $SLAVE_LADDR > $DELETE_DEVICE
echo slave-24c02 $SLAVE_LADDR > $NEW_DEVICE
echo $SLAVE_LADDR > $DELETE_DEVICE
echo slave-24c02 $SLAVE_LADDR > $NEW_DEVICE
# Using devmem to inspect IC_INTR_MASK will show as zero
```
