[media] i2c: Export an unlocked flavor of i2c_transfer
Some drivers (in particular for TV cards) need exclusive access to their I2C buses for specific operations. Export an unlocked flavor of i2c_transfer to give them full control. The unlocked flavor has the following limitations: * Obviously, caller must hold the i2c adapter lock. * No debug messages are logged. We don't want to log messages while holding a rt_mutex. * No check is done on the existence of adap->algo->master_xfer. It is thus the caller's responsibility to ensure that the function is OK to call. Signed-off-by: Jean Delvare <khali@linux-fr.org> Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab@redhat.com>
