From fb7737e949e31d8a71acee6bbb670f32dbd2a2c0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Suman Anna Date: Wed, 4 Mar 2015 20:01:14 -0600 Subject: hwspinlock/core: add device tree support This patch adds a new OF-friendly API of_hwspin_lock_get_id() for hwspinlock clients to use/request locks from a hwspinlock device instantiated through a device-tree blob. This new API can be used by hwspinlock clients to get the id for a specific lock using the phandle + args specifier, so that it can be requested using the available hwspin_lock_request_specific() API.
