Hwspinlocks are widely used between processors in an SoC, and also
between elevation levels within in the same processor.  QCOM SoC's use
hwspinlock to serialize entry into a low power mode when the context
switches from Linux to secure monitor.

Lock #7 has been assigned for this purpose. In order to differentiate
between one cpu core holding a lock while another cpu is contending for
the same lock, the proc id written into the lock is (128 + cpu id). This
makes it unique value among the cpu cores and therefore when a core
locks the hwspinlock, other cores would wait for the lock to be released
since they would have a different proc id.  This value is specific for
the lock #7 only.

Declare lock #7 as raw capable, so the hwspinlock framework would not
enfore acquiring a s/w spinlock before acquiring the hwspinlock.

No worries. Thanks for reviewing.

Its not a mutable entity, but sure.

Okay.

Well, ultimately a hwspinlock is just a writel, so that is a
possibility, if we want. But it is a hwspinlock, therefore the use of
the framework seems appropriate, even amidst the unique behavior of the
lock.

Thanks,
