Commit 8a6aaa3 (mfd: twl-core: Collect global variables behind one
private structure (global)) removed the variable "inuse" that is used
to determine if the device has been initialised and now use the
twl_priv structure instead. This is causing the kernel to panic on
OMAP3+ devices using the twl driver, because we try to access the
twl_priv->ready member before checking if twl_priv is initialised. Fix
this and move this test to the beginning of the twl_i2c_read/write
function because twl_get_last_module() also uses the twl_priv structure.

Patch applied, thanks.
I fixed the subject as it's codewise not ARM or OMAP3 related, but rather mfd
and twl-core.

Cheers,
Samuel.
