The tx_msg is set from multiple places, sometimes without locking,
which fall apart on any SMP system. Only ever access tx_msg inside
the driver mutex.

Hi Marek,

Thanks for the patches. I have tested them. Please see comments inline.

On an SMP system with multiple i2c-transfer command scripts running, the above critical section is expected to cause serious trouble overwriting the previous msg pointers.
But that's not happening as the i2c-core is having a lock at adapter level inside i2c-core-base.c (rt_mutex_lock_nested).
So, the race condition between different threads is not possible. They are all serialized by the locking in i2c-core.

Although no issues are seen in the tests, the contention within the driver is still possible (isr vs xiic_xfer), if there is a spurious interrupt. And this patch is needed in that case.

The contention happens between the threaded interrupt handler
xiic_process() and this xiic_xfer() function. While you can not have
xiic_xfer() running on two CPU cores at the same time, you can have
xiic_xfer() running on one CPU core and xiic_process() on another CPU
core, and that will lead to problems.

Yes, this patch is needed for that case.
