i2c: tegra: Add support for SW mutex register
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.
