[ Upstream commit 8d3cefaf659265aa82b0373a563fdb9d16a2b947 ]
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.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
