Okay here is my attempt.

    i2c: davinci: Change xfr_complete completion to a mutex

    There are several problems with the use of a completion for this task:

    1. If no I2C transfer has occurred, a cpufreq transition will block forever.
    2. Once an I2C transfer has occurred the cpufreq transition will
never block since the completion is never reinitialized.
    3. Even if you do reinitialize the completion for every I2C
transfer, (1) is not solved and there is still a race condition where
the cpufreq transition could start just before an I2C transfer starts
and the I2C transfer occurs during the cpufreq transition.

> Personally I think the correct solution is to use a mutex instead of a completion.  The cpufreq code would take the mutex during the prechange callback and release it during the postchange callback.  Likewise the I2C transfer function would hold the mutex while an I2C transfer is ongoing.  That way an I2C transfer cannot occur during a cpufreq transition and vice-versa.  As I mentioned, I have not had time to put together a proper patch, but I would be happy to see this issue addressed if someone else can do it.

I'm using the 3.2 branch and the above patch revealed another bug.

davinci_target was notifying CPUFREQ_PRECHANGE before calling
set_voltage which relied tried talking to the pmic over i2c causing a
hang.

I fixed this by moving the cpufreq_notifiy.  This doesn't apply to the
later kernels as the davinci cpufreq driver has changed quite a bit.
Unfortunately I don't have the setup to test a patch against a newer
kernel right now.

    ARM: DAVINCI: Reorder cpufreq_nofity_transistion so that
set_voltage happens first.

    set_voltage may make use of the i2c bus to communicate with the
PMIC.  In this case we dont want the i2c to reset until after we set
the voltage.
