If a hwspinlock if defined in device tree use it to protect configuration registers. Signed-off-by: Benjamin Gaignard <redacted>
Patch applied with Alex' ACK. Out of curiosity: what is it protecting against? I would guess simultaneous access from another CPU but the commit doesn't say. Simultaneous access from two CPUs makes it extra important that all register access is read-modify-write, so I'd have a second check over the code to make sure this is the case. Yours, Linus Walleij
