Locks are great, everybody should have their own lock!

Eh...

$ git grep -w PCSPKR_PLATFORM 
arch/mips/Kconfig:      select PCSPKR_PLATFORM
arch/mips/Kconfig:      select PCSPKR_PLATFORM
arch/mips/Kconfig:      select PCSPKR_PLATFORM
arch/powerpc/platforms/amigaone/Kconfig:        select PCSPKR_PLATFORM
drivers/input/misc/Kconfig:     depends on PCSPKR_PLATFORM
init/Kconfig:config PCSPKR_PLATFORM
sound/drivers/Kconfig:  depends on PCSPKR_PLATFORM && X86 &&
HIGH_RES_TIMERS

So the status is:

 Alpha:	There is no PCSPKR_PLATFORM so while a platform device is
		being installed no drivers will be built.  I don't know
		which Alpha platforms or even if all of Alpha should be
		doing a PCSPKR_PLATFORM so I haven't even tried to sort
		this.
 ARM:		No PC speaker supported, yeah :)
 PowerPC:	Should compile but the locking is wrong but only the 
   		AmigaOne platforms should be affected.
The Kconfig dependencies cleanup patch for CHRP, PSERIES, etc. should
also apply to the AmigaOne. Can you resend it with a fix for the
AmigaOne, or should I send a patch?
I can sort that; it's easy enough.
I'll check next week, if the PC speaker is still working on my AmigaOne.
I can't imagine that it's going to break - the code is sorta simple ;-)

One obscurity I noticed is this bit in the amigaone.dts:

        timer@40 {
                // Also adds pcspkr to platform devices.
                compatible = "pnpPNP,100";
                reg = <1 0x00000040 0x00000020>;
        };

Shouldn't that rather be something like the following?

        pcspeaker@61 {
                device_type = "sound";
                compatible = "pnpPNP,800";
                reg = <1 0x61 1>;
        };

pnpPNP,100 is the i8253 timer as I understand and pnpPNP,800 the PC speaker.
If you interpret pnpPNP,100 to imply the presence of a PC speaker you can't
express a system that has a i8253 but no PCspeaker in a DT so maybe
amigaone.dts and arch/powerpc/kernel/setup-common.c should be changed to
use pnpPNP,800 instead?
