[PATCH v4 1/2] i2c: imx: Fix slave registration race and error handling

[Liem]

In i2c_imx_reg_slave(), the slave pointer was assigned before
pm_runtime_resume_and_get().  If pm_runtime_resume_and_get() failed,
the error path returned without clearing i2c_imx->slave, leaving it
non-NULL and causing all subsequent registration attempts to fail
with -EBUSY.

Additionally, because this driver uses a shared IRQ, the interrupt
handler i2c_imx_isr() can execute concurrently and, after acquiring
slave_lock, dereference i2c_imx->slave.  The previous fix attempt
added a lockless i2c_imx->slave = NULL on the error path, but that
could race with the ISR under the lock and still cause a NULL pointer
dereference.

Fix both issues by deferring the assignment of i2c_imx->slave and
i2c_imx->last_slave_event to after a successful resume, and by
performing the assignment inside the slave_lock critical section.
This guarantees that the slave pointer is never left stale on the
error path and is always valid when observed by the interrupt handler.

v3 -> v4:
  - Instead of clearing the slave pointer on error, defer the
    assignment until after pm_runtime_resume_and_get() succeeds,
    and take slave_lock to avoid racing with the shared IRQ handler.
