The mutex has to be acquired on register write to avoid interference
with a simultaneous retu_set_clear_reg_bits operation.

good catch, please do the same for retu_read_reg()

I don't think this is necessary, because cbus_read_reg() and
cbus_write_reg() are atomic due to the cbus host->lock.
I think we can depend on this.
We could probably improve the comment on the lock in
cbus_transfer(), though.
