fb7737e949 hwspinlock/core: add device tree support
This patch adds a new OF-friendly API of_hwspin_lock_get_id()
for hwspinlock clients to use/request locks from a hwspinlock
device instantiated through a device-tree blob. This new API
can be used by hwspinlock clients to get the id for a specific
lock using the phandle + args specifier, so that it can be
requested using the available hwspin_lock_request_specific()
API.

300bab9770 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 per-lock 'int id' member: the id of the
lock anyway equals to its index in the bank's array plus the bank's
base_id.
Remove this per-lock id member too, and instead use a simple pointers
arithmetic to derive it.

As a result of this change, hwspinlocks drivers are now simpler and smaller
(about %20 code reduction) and the memory footprint of the hwspinlock
framework is reduced.

93b465c2e1 hwspinlock/core: use a mutex to protect the radix tree
Since we're using non-atomic radix tree allocations, we
should be protecting the tree using a mutex and not a
spinlock.

Non-atomic allocations and process context locking is good enough,
as the tree is manipulated only when locks are registered/
unregistered/requested/freed.

The locks themselves are still protected by spinlocks of course,
and mutexes are not involved in the locking/unlocking paths.

e467b64214 hwspinlock/core: simplify 'owner' handling
Use struct device_driver's owner member instead of asking drivers to
explicitly pass the owner again.

This simplifies drivers and also save some memory, since there's no
point now in maintaining a separate owner pointer per hwspinlock.

bd9a4c7df2 drivers: hwspinlock: add framework
Add a platform-independent hwspinlock framework.

Hardware spinlock devices are needed, e.g., in order to access data
that is shared between remote processors, that otherwise have no
alternative mechanism to accomplish synchronization and mutual exclusion
operations.
