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.

hwspinlock drivers must anyway select CONFIG_HWSPINLOCK, so there's no point in having register/unregister stubs. Removing those stubs will only make it easier for developers to catch CONFIG_HWSPINLOCK mis-.config-urations. Signed-off-by: NOhad Ben-Cohen <ohad@wizery.com>

hwspinlock devices provide system-wide hardware locks that are used by remote processors that have no other way to achieve synchronization. To achieve that, each physical lock must have a system-wide id number that is agreed upon, otherwise remote processors can't possibly assume they're using the same hardware lock. Usually boards have a single hwspinlock device, which provides several hwspinlocks, and in this case, they can be trivially numbered 0 to (num-of-locks - 1). In case boards have several hwspinlocks devices, a different base id should be used for each hwspinlock device (they can't all use 0 as a starting id!). While this is certainly not common, it's just plain wrong to just silently use 0 as a base id whenever the hwspinlock driver is probed. This patch provides a hwspinlock_pdata structure, that boards can use to set a different base id for each of the hwspinlock devices they may have, and demonstrates how to use it with the omap hwspinlock driver. While we're at it, make sure the hwspinlock core prints an explicit error message in case an hwspinlock is registered with an id number that already exists; this will help users catch such base id issues.

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.
