The musb driver calls into this phy driver to disable/enable squelch
detection. This function was introduced in 24fe86a617c5 ("phy: sun4i-usb:
Add a sunxi specific function for setting squelch-detect"). This
function in turn calls sun4i_usb_phy_write, which uses a mutex to
guard the common access register. Unfortunately musb does this
in atomic context, which results in the following warning with lock
debugging enabled:

Since the register access is mmio, we can use a spinlock to guard this
specific access, rather than the mutex that guards the entire phy.

Good catch, but you're actually replacing the locking calls in the only
user of sun4i_usb_phy_data.mutex, so after your patch it is no longer
used anywhere. Can you do a v2 just outright replacing it with a
spinlock please ?

Ah. I misread the other use of mutex_lock, which is actually using
the mutex in struct phy. Sure I'll just replace it.

After sending this patch I wondered if I should have used
spin_lock_irqsave though.

Good point, yes please use spin_lock_irqsave, I believe this
code path may get called outside of irq handling so using
spin_lock_irqsave is the right thing todo.
