Hi Bjorn,

I saw the words "error paths" and "unlock" and I thought there was maybe
something we could do here with static analysis.  But I don't know what TRE
or APSS mean.

The one thing I do see is that this uses "one err" style error handling where
there is one err label and it calls dmaengine_terminate_sync(gi2c->rx_c)
regardless of whether or not geni_i2c_gpi() was called or failed/succeeded.
