Under which circumstances would you become interested to apply a statement
like “guard(spinlock)(&syscon_list_slock);”?
https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v6.10-rc7/source/include/linux/spinlock.h#L561

I used the spin_{lock,unlock}() pattern call already present in syscon.c.
Of course, I can add a new patch in this series converting syscon.c to
the guard() family and use guard() in my introduced lock/unlock.

Lee, any opinion ?

Best regards,
Hervé
