[PATCH] I2C: pcf8574 doesn't need a lock
While investigating the i2c chips drivers that were not properly
locking, we found that the pcf8574 driver does the exact contrary. It
uses a lock where it's not needed.
While we were there, we did some additional cleanups to the driver:
1* Merge pcf8574_update_client() in show_read(), as it was the only user
and the function became trivial once the locking was removed.
2* Add a validity check on values provided by user-space.
Aurelien Jarno tested the modified code for confirmation and it worked
just fine.
