Subject: [PATCH] hwmon: (pmbus/adm1266) serialize GPIO PMBus accesses with
pmbus_lock

adm1266_gpio_get(), adm1266_gpio_get_multiple(), and adm1266_gpio_dbg_show() all issue PMBus reads against the device but none of them take pmbus_lock. The pmbus_core framework holds pmbus_lock around its own multi-transaction sequences (notably the "set PAGE, then read paged register" pattern used by hwmon attributes), so an unlocked GPIO accessor can land between a PAGE write and the subsequent paged read in another thread and corrupt either side's view of the device state machine.

Take pmbus_lock at the top of each of the three accessors via the scope-based guard(). The lock is uncontended in the common case and adds only a single mutex round-trip per call.
