hwspinlock/core: register a bank of hwspinlocks in a single API call
Hardware Spinlock devices usually contain numerous locks (known devices today support between 32 to 256 locks). Originally hwspinlock core required drivers to register (and later, when needed, unregister) each lock separately. That worked, but required hwspinlocks drivers to do a bit extra work when they were probed/removed. This patch changes hwspin_lock_{un}register() to allow a bank of hwspinlocks to be {un}registered in a single invocation. A new 'struct hwspinlock_device', which contains an array of 'struct hwspinlock's is now being passed to the core upon registration (so instead of wrapping each struct hwspinlock, a priv member has been added to allow drivers to piggyback their private data with each hwspinlock). While at it, several per-lock members were moved to be per-device: 1. struct device *dev 2. struct hwspinlock_ops *ops In addition, now that the array of locks is handled by the core, there's no reason to maintain a...
