  • Add hwspinlock support for the OMAP4 Hardware Spinlock device.

    The Hardware Spinlock device on OMAP4 provides hardware assistance
    for synchronization between the multiple processors in the system
    (dual Cortex-A9, dual Cortex-M3 and a C64x+ DSP).

  • Add a platform-independent hwspinlock framework.

    Hardware spinlock devices are needed, e.g., in order to access data
    that is shared between remote processors, that otherwise have no
    alternative mechanism to accomplish synchronization and mutual exclusion
    operations.
