No in fact. I'll remove.

It determines the size of the hashtable (of the underlying array in fact)
as 1 << 8; 256 seemed a reasonable value to avoid most collisions since we
have 256 protocols at max and not expecting so many registerd users' callback
for each.

Avoiding collisions possibly reduces some undeterministic spike in the time
needed to deliver an event but it's anyway looked up in the deferred worker and
probably overkill as 256 (especially the pending one), so I'll reduce those
sizes (reducing size of possibly empty underlying htable arrays) and use some
meaningful macros to identify those.

Basically yes...the explanation is not so short though (:D) and I tried to badly
summarized it in the comment above.

Events dispatching is handled with custom dynamically created notification
chains; such chains are created on demand as soon as the first user registers a
notifier against such event/chain and destroyed whenever the last user deregisters
the last notifier callback for the same chain: such chains and related data are
stored in an event_handler struct and every currently existing handler is stored
in a per-protocol hashtable.

Beside register/unregister ops such htable can be concurrently looked up in search
of a matching handler also during the dispatching of the received events in the
deferred workqueues; the access to the hashtable itself is protected by a table
mutex (acquired and released inside each get/put) and the handler itself is reference
counted to effectively track whenever is no more required by any user and can be freed.

So upon each get/put the mutex is temporarily acquired to atomically access the htable
and adjust the handler refcount and then released: if, at register time did not exist
already, it is created straight away with refcount 1.

But, the important thing is that, for this to work, wherever an handler is accessed
it has to be get at first and then put when done; this happens also during the delivery
phase, so that, if I'm looking up event X for delivery and some user is unregistering
those last callback for event X, I'm sure that the current lookup won't unexpectedly see
its handler vanishing while operating on it.
In such a racy case the unregister completes regularly on its side but the refcount does
not drop to zero because there is still one pending (get) lookup ongoing: once the lookup
completes and issues its own put, the handler will be finally freed in the lookup context.

So, finally, looking at how this function behaves, I have to put the handler twice, one at
first to balance the get issued early inside this same function to access the handler and
then another time to balance the get issued previously inside the register routine: if this
was the last user, in a normal non-racy scenario, this will cause, here, the refcount to
drop to zero and the handler to be freed straight away, while, in the racy scenario depicted
above, it will be the final put issue by the completion of the concurrent lookup ops that
will finally zero the refcount and free the handler.

I'll try to review the above comment in a more sensible way: my point was to give some
explanation of the double put in a concise way....does not seem to have had success :D

Yes I'll do, it was used more at first then version after version I dropped it
and forgot to drop it here too. (Not sure if it will be used again in other
in_progress SCMI series, but anyway is not worth having it as of now)
