i2c: tegra: Add support for SW mutex register

Browse source

Add support for SW mutex register introduced in Tegra264 to provide
an option to share the interface between multiple firmwares and/or
VMs. This involves following steps:

 - A firmware/OS writes its unique ID to the mutex REQUEST field.
 - Ownership is established when reading the GRANT field returns the
   same ID.
 - If GRANT shows a different non-zero ID, the firmware/OS retries
   until timeout.
 - After completing access, it releases the mutex by writing 0.

However, the hardware does not ensure any protection based on the
values. The driver/firmware should honor the peer who already holds
the mutex.
