i801_smbus 0000:00:1f.4: Failed terminating the transaction

Blacklisting i2c_i801 kernel module seems to solve the problem

Put the following in /etc/modprobe.d/i2c_i801.conf file:

# Blacklisted i2c_i801 because it caused the following error:                                                         
# i801_smbus 0000:00:1f.4: Failed terminating the transaction                                                         
# It could improve sleep also as per the following thread:                                                            
# techpatterns.com/forums/about2831.html                                                                      
blacklist i2c_i801   

then update initramfs

sudo update-initramfs -u
