The use of mutex_lock_interruptible() seems like a bad idea.  It means
that if the calling process (modprobe?) has a signal pending,
w1_search() will think that "no device responded".  That isn't really
true - a true statement is "user hit ^C".  I'm not sure what the
overall runtime effect of this will be, but I bet it hasn't been
tested!

Wouldn't it be saner/safer to use plain old mutex_lock() here?
