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.
