Maybe you could call this only at probe and resume time?
You would save some register accesses.

Some clarification about this point.
We need to call stm32f4_i2c_hw_config before each I2C transfer as at
the end of I2C communication the peripheral is automatically disabled
and configuration registers are reset.

Ok, but I wonder how the IP knows this is the last i2c message to be sent?
Or maybe it gets re-initialized as soon as the clk is disabled?

Thanks for the inputs,
Maxime
