Copy-pasting answer from U&L as per people request

After reading kernel sources, I found a function we need to blacklist!

Thanks to Stephen Kitt for the hint about initcall_blacklist.

Add initcall_blacklist=dw_i2c_init_driver to the kernel command line. This works for me on kernel 4.15.0.

For anyone else who'll find this answer. You can do it by editing /etc/default/grub:

  1. Run in the terminal: sudo -H gedit /etc/default/grub.
  2. Append blacklist string to the GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="… initcall_blacklist=dw_i2c_init_driver".
  3. Save the file, close the editor.
  4. Run in the terminal: sudo update-grub.
  5. Reboot and test!
