Subject: [PATCH 2/2] mmc_spi: lock the SPI bus when accessing the card

From: Yi Li <yi.li@...log.com>

The MMC/SPI spec does not play well with typical SPI design -- it often
needs to send out a command in one message, read a response, then do some
other arbitrary step.  Since we can't let another SPI client use the bus
during this time, use the new SPI lock/unlock functions to provide the
required exclusivity.
