Locking the root adapter for __i2c_transfer will deadlock if the
device sits behind a mux-locked I2C mux. Switch to the finer-grained
i2c_lock_segment. If the device does not sit behind a mux-locked mux,
the two locking variants are equivalent.

Can you quickly explain (or give a reference) the difference with these
functions? Not an expert in this area. Thanks.

There are some words in the cover letter. If you need more, there's
always Documentation/i2c/i2c-topology. Hope that helps, otherwise I'll
try to explain better...

Cheers,
Peter
