Commit Message

Baolin Wang Nov. 20, 2017, 6:54 a.m. UTC
Some system control registers need hardware spinlock to synchronize
between the multiple subsystems, so we should add hardware spinlock
support for syscon.

Signed-off-by: Baolin Wang <baolin.wang@linaro.org>
Acked-by: Rob Herring <robh@kernel.org>

Changes since v2:
 - Add acked tag from Rob.

Changes since v1:
 - Remove timeout configuration.
 - Modify the binding file to add hwlocks.

Note: The hwspinlock support in regmap was merged by commit:
(8698b9364710: "regmap: Add hardware spinlock support")
The hwspinlock was changed to a bool by commit:
(d048236dfdfe: "hwspinlock: Change hwspinlock to a bool")

Hi Baolin,

The error handling here seems insufficient, I think we have to treat
the following cases separately:

- ret>0 (this is fine)
- no spinlock in DT: of_hwspin_lock_get_id currently returns -EINVAL,
  we probably want to use a different return code (maybe -ESRCH ?)
  here so we can tell the difference beween no spinlock, and an
  invalid spinlock
- deferred probing: if the spinlock is there but the driver is not
  yet available, we may need to propagate the -EPROBE_DEFER
  here
- other error: this would probably be a fatal condition here, and
  we should print a warning and clean up.

You are correct and I will add some error handling. Thanks for your comments.
