Description

First of all I fixed badly designed mutex handling in commit: qermit/afcipm@49c59599dfea6070e974c0da5043facc325b8272
It was to prevent other tasks changing this shared structure.
I've also introduced a initial i2c multiplexer handling.

In this case memory copy is just waist of resources and limits usage of I2C bus function in a master mode. Just pointer to rx/tx data shall be assigned while only one task may take ownership over I2C bus.

Research direction

Start by reviewing commit qermit/afcipm@49c59599dfea6070e974c0da5043facc325b8272, which contains the mutex-handling changes described here. Trace the shared structure and I2C master-mode ownership assumptions, then determine how the proposed pointer-based transfers and multiplexer handling should be validated; the issue does not name files or tests.
