[PATCHv5 00/15] hwspinlock/omap dt support

[Suman Anna]

Hi Ohad,

This is a refresh/update of the hwspinlock dt support series. The
series is rebased onto v3.15-rc3, and adds 8 new patches (RFC) to
handle various discussion points arised on v4.

Following are the main changes in v5:
- Base DT patches (Patches 1 to 7, except for 4) are identical to v4.
  Patch4 is updated to remove some traces and fix --strict checkpatch warnings.
- Patch 8 brings back the DT-based hwlock-base-id property, for registration
  purposes. Based on v4 discussion [1].
- Patches 9 through 13 introduce the concept of reserved locks, again based
  on the discussion in v4 [1]. The approach taken here is simplistic, each
  hwlock is assigned a type attribute during registration, with the _request_
  apis honoring the lock type attribute.
- Staged patches 14 & 15 for converting return convention to better
  support deferred probing of client drivers. I do think that it is
  still a good idea to return ERR_PTRs (unconcluded discussion in v4 [2]).
  The main advantage is to support deferred probing for DT boots. The
  original argument/change for returning NULL pointers pre-dates both
  the deferred driver probe mechanism and DT-based boot, so it may be
  moot on the current kernel.

I have marked the new patches as RFC, and should ideally be dealt
with as a separate series. I have added these to this series as
they also add couple of DT-based properties, as well as maintain the
discussion context from the previous series. I am ok for the reserved
lock patches to be left out for 3.16 merge window if these patches still
need some work. I am hoping to have the first 7 or 8 patches (and
finalized return code changes) to make it to 3.16.

The validation logs on all the applicable OMAP SoCs are at:
  OMAP4  - http://slexy.org/view/s2MMyLZTiH 
  OMAP5  - http://slexy.org/view/s20U2ElygK 
  DRA74x - http://slexy.org/view/s20fAoWJ84
  AM33xx - http://slexy.org/view/s2HLj2b406 
  AM43xx - http://slexy.org/view/s2JNrJSWLm 

The above logs are generated with some additional test patches staged
here for reference (not for merging)

v4:
- The DT bindings are split into separate patches, and updated to
  add comments about #hwlock-cells
- Fixed a registration issue with repeated module installation and
  removal.
- Added a new OF helper to support #hwlock-cells in addition to the
  previous OF functions. The OMAP adaptation patch is updated to use
  the default translate function
- Updated hwspinlock documentation to adjust for the structure
  changes and the new api additions.
- Added build support for AM335x, AM43xx and DRA7xx
http://marc.info/?l=linux-omap&m=138965904015225&w=2

v3:
- Removed the DT property hwlock-base-id and associated OF helper
- Added changes in core to support requesting a specific hwlock using
  phandle + args approach
- Revised both the common and OMAP DT bindings document
http://marc.info/?l=linux-omap&m=138143992932197&w=2

v2:
- Added a new common DT binding documentation and OF helpers.
- Revised OMAP DT parse support to use the new OF helper (Patch2)
- OMAP5 hwspinlock support including the hwmod entry and DT node
- Add AM335x support to OMAP hwspinlock driver, including a fix
  needed in driver given that AM335 spinlock module requires s/w wakeup
- AM335 DT node for spinlock, and a hwmod change to enable smart-idle
  for AM335.
- OMAP4 DT node patch is unchanged
http://marc.info/?l=linux-omap&m=137944644112727&w=2

v1:
- Add DT parse support to OMAP hwspinlock driver
- Add OMAP4 DT node and bindings information
