Subject: Re: [PATCH v2 1/4] drivers: hwspinlock: add generic framework

My rule of thumb is that nothing is "generic"
until at least three whatever-it-is instances
plug in to it.  Sometimes this is called
the "Rule of Three".

Other than OMAP, what's providing hardware
spinlocks that plug into this framework?
