i2c: core: Lock address during client device instantiation
Krzysztof reported an issue [0] which is caused by parallel attempts to instantiate the same I2C client device. This can happen if driver supports auto-detection, but certain devices are also instantiated explicitly. The original change isn't actually wrong, it just revealed that I2C core isn't prepared yet to handle this scenario. Calls to i2c_new_client_device() can be nested, therefore we can't use a simple mutex here. Parallel instantiation of devices at different addresses is ok, so we just have to prevent parallel instantiation at the same address. We can use a bitmap with one bit per 7-bit I2C client address, and atomic bit operations to set/check/clear bits. Now a parallel attempt to instantiate a device at the same address will result in -EBUSY being returned, avoiding the "sysfs: cannot create duplicate filename" splash. Note: This patch version includes small cosmetic changes to the Tested-by version, only functional change is that address locking is supported for slave addresses too.
