Ok, I guess you have better eyeballs. Yes, the locking was totaly
broken (and disabled by initing semaphore to 1 by default). Sorry
about that.

This strips some more code, turns semaphore into mutex, and should
solve more problems.

I killed the "power down on timer" thingie. I guess we can reintroduce
it when we get the basics right (and driver works just fine without
that... I did not detect unusual slowness).
