Subject: [PATCH] w1: Introduce a slave mutex for serializing IO.


w1 devices need a mutex to serial IO.
Most use master->mutex.

However that is used for other purposes and they can conflict.

In particular master->mutex is held while w1_attach_slave_device is
called.

For bq27000, this registers a 'powersupply' device which tries to
read the current status.  The attempt to read will cause a deadlock on
master->mutex.

So create a new per-slave mutex and use that for serializing IO for
bq27000.
