The semantical read operation consists of writing the read command and
the actual read. If another read command should come in between then the read
returns wrong data. Therefore I'd like to protect the complete semantical
read operation with the mutex. I change nothing in the content or order
of calls.
Basically this patch changes thingm_recv from a technical read to a
semantical read and ensures that a write read command + subsequent read
sequence can't be interrupted by another device access.
And it allows to move the mutex handling to the thingm_send/recv helpers
so that we don't have to take care of it on a upper driver logic level
thus making the code simpler.
