Subject: [PATCH] hwmon: (pmbus/adm1266) serialize NVMEM blackbox read with
 pmbus_lock

adm1266_nvmem_read() is the reg_read callback the NVMEM core invokes
when userspace reads /sys/bus/nvmem/devices/.../nvmem on this chip.
On the first byte of every read it does a memset of data->dev_mem,
walks the device blackbox through adm1266_nvmem_read_blackbox()
(which issues a chain of PMBus block transactions), and then memcpys
the refreshed buffer out to userspace.  None of that runs under
pmbus_lock today.

Two consequences:

  - The PMBus traffic the refresh issues is not serialised against
    pmbus_core's own multi-step PAGE+register sequences.  A paged
    hwmon attribute read from another thread can land between a
    PAGE write and the paged read in either direction and corrupt
    one side's view of the device state machine.

  - The NVMEM core does not serialise concurrent reg_read calls, so
    two userspace readers racing at offset 0 can interleave the
    memset of data->dev_mem with another reader's
    adm1266_nvmem_read_blackbox() refill or memcpy out, returning
    torn data to userspace.

Take pmbus_lock at the top of adm1266_nvmem_read() via the
scope-based guard().  Patch 5 of this series moves
adm1266_config_nvmem() past pmbus_do_probe() so the lock is
guaranteed to be live before the callback is reachable from
userspace.
