That would be:

Fixes: 588eb93ea49f ("i2c: imx: add runtime pm support to improve the performance")

and that was merged around v4.4. I'm not sure it's sensible to backport
that given the bug is that old and didn't even pop up in a user story
but by a cleanup effort. *shrug* Up to you and Wolfram to decide.

Best regards
Uwe
