yes. there is indeed an interrupt storm, and this could increase the
power consumption easily.

It is very likely that the I2C bus is not powered off cleanly during
reboot.

so, when you say normal boot, you mean a cold boot, say, in 4.17.0
kernel, shutdown the machine, and then power on the machine manually to
boot into 4.9.3 kernel, right?

If this is true, we are still able to confirm the good and bad kernel,
by do cold boot every time, right?

As this seems to be a driver issue, reassign to I2C experts anyway.

Title:
  Dell 7140 avarage power consumption in idle increased by 1.3-1.5 times
  due to events by INT3432

Status in Linux:
  Incomplete
Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  On Dell Venue 11 Pro 7140 average power consumption in idle increased
  by 1.3-1.5 times due to events coming from INT343A. According to
  powertop since Linux 4.10 INT3432:00 generate around two hundred
  events on average, in /sys/devices/pci0000:00/INT3432:00/i2c-6 there
  is two devices: INT343A and SMO91D0. AFAIK INT343A is rt286.

  With Linux 4.9.0-4.9.45, Linux 4.11.0-4.11.12 in idle there is around 100 
wakeups per second in sum, battery discharge rate around 3-3.5 Watts per second.
  But with Linux 4.9.46-4.9.51, Linux 4.10.0-4.10.17, Linux 4.12.0rc1-4.13.3 - 
around 300 wakeups per second on average, due to events coming from INT3432:00. 
With Linux 4.13.3 battery discharge rate around 4.5 Watts per second.
  Probably some commit was backported to Linux 4.9 between .45 and .46 releases.
  I have no idea why issue is not reproducible on any Linux 4.11 release I 
tried.

  Sometimes INT3432 events rate fall from two hundred to one hundred for
  shorts period of time (for example I observe this right now on Linux
  4.10.0 while removing/installing packages).

  Message like this sometimes appear in dmesg:
  [  731.226730] i2c_hid i2c-SMO91D0:00: i2c_hid_get_input: incomplete report 
(53/13568)

  Complete dmesg with Linux 4.13.3 is attached.
