i2c: rcar: avoid race when unregistering slave
[ Upstream commit c7c9e914 ] Due to the lockless design of the driver, it is theoretically possible to access a NULL pointer, if a slave interrupt was running while we were unregistering the slave. To make this rock solid, disable the interrupt for a short time while we are clearing the interrupt_enable register. This patch is purely based on code inspection. The OOPS is super-hard to trigger because clearing SAR (the address) makes interrupts even more unlikely to happen as well. While here, reinit SCR to SDBS because this bit should always be set according to documentation. There is no effect, though, because the interface is disabled.
