The I2C-bus to the XPower AXP288 is shared between the Linux kernel and the SoCs P-Unit. The P-Unit has a semaphore which the kernel must "lock" before it may use the bus and while the kernel holds the semaphore the CPU and GPU power-states must not be changed otherwise the system will freeze. This is a complex process, which is quite expensive. This is all done by iosf_mbi_block_punit_i2c_access(). To ensure that no unguarded I2C-bus accesses happen, iosf_mbi_block_punit_i2c_access() gets called by the I2C-bus-driver for every I2C transfer. Because this is so expensive it is allowed to call iosf_mbi_block_punit_i2c_access() in a nested fashion, so that higher-level code which does multiple I2C-transfers can call it once for a group of transfers, turning the calls done by the I2C-bus-driver into no-ops. The default exec_mipi_pmic_seq_element implementation from drivers/acpi/pmic/intel_pmic.c does a regmap_update_bits() call and the involved registers are typically marked as volatile in the regmap, so this leads to 2 I2C-bus accesses. Add a XPower AXP288 specific implementation of exec_mipi_pmic_seq_element which calls iosf_mbi_block_punit_i2c_access() calls before the regmap_update_bits() call to avoid having to do the whole expensive acquire P-Unit semaphore dance twice.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
