[PATCH] i2c: imx: Fix slave registration error path and missing NULL check

[Liem]

There are two issues that affect the i2c-imx slave handling:

1. In i2c_imx_reg_slave(), i2c_imx->slave is checked at the beginning
   and the function returns -EBUSY if it is non-NULL.  If
   pm_runtime_resume_and_get() fails later, the error path returns
   without clearing i2c_imx->slave, leaving it non-NULL.  Subsequent
   attempts to register a slave will then immediately fail with
   -EBUSY, making it impossible to register the slave again.  Fix
   by setting i2c_imx->slave = NULL on the error path.

2. In i2c_imx_unreg_slave(), the slave pointer is set to NULL after
   disabling interrupts.  However, a pending interrupt might already
   have started a timer (e.g. for slave event processing) before
   the pointer was cleared.  The timer callback
   i2c_imx_slave_event() dereferences i2c_imx->slave without a
   NULL check, which results in a use-after-free / NULL pointer
   dereference.  Prevent this by checking that i2c_imx->slave is
   valid before calling i2c_slave_event() and updating the
   last_slave_event field.

Both issues can trigger a kernel oops or permanent slave
registration failure under certain race conditions.  Add the
missing NULL assignment and the missing NULL check to harden
the slave path.
