It definitely could, I had the idea to do the checksumming outside the
mutex in case it took a long time? Probably not worth it though.

Well, it doesn't really matter in fsi_occ_submit vs occ_putsram, as the
latter is only called in the former. occ_write wouldn't be used by the
hwmon interface, which is why we're moving some of that to
fsi_occ_submit, to have more in common. Agree it could probably be
organized better but I don't immediately have a good idea how to do
that.
Thanks for the review!
