Turns out a few drivers have strayed away from using the
spinlock_t typedef and decided to use struct spinlock
directly. This series converts these drivers to use
spinlock_t. Each change has been compile tested with
allmodconfig and sparse checked. Driver developers
may want to look at the compile error output / sparse
error report supplied in each commit log, in particular
brcmfmac and i915, there are quite a few things that
are not related to this change that the developers
can clean up / fix.

So what is the rationale here. During mainlining our drivers we had to
remove all uses of 'typedef struct foo foo_t;'. The Linux CodingStyle
(chapter 5 Typedefs) is spending a number of lines explaining why.

So is spinlock_t an exception to this rule simply because the kernel
uses spinlock_t all over the place. Using Greg's favorite final email
remark:

Confused.
