Re:[PATCH] hwspinlock/core: Add testing capabilities

Hi,

It is good idea add this feature.

1: Can we let the "ret = hwspin_lock_tests(ops, hwlock);" add after
hwspin_lock_register_single have return
succeed, that can avoid test duplicated Or error lockid. Of course, If
this interface is intend to test soc hardware capability only, we can
put it in the arch module not this core framework. For driver hardware
sanity check, i would add it after software have register it.


2:Is it possible that interface add configs that choose which locks
will be test? Because the hwspinlock module is init late in
postcore_initcall phase, Maybe MACH/ARCH code(for example: code in
early_initcall) need use private other interfaces to lock some
hwspinlocks and then register hw locks to hwspinlock framework, Maybe
some hw locks is in lock status but which test failed.
