Hi,
I have introduced unlocked form of the _read_reg_8 also, which is wrong
on my side. I should have discarded the mlocks in the read_freq case
first, then there would have been no need of having unlocked form of
the _read_reg_8 :(
Please discard this patch and I'll send two patches in which first I'll
remove the mlocks from the read case and then I'll have only the
unlocked form of the _write_reg_8. In this way, there won't be any
useless code in the file for the read case.
Sorry, it took me a bit more time to understand.
Thanks
