Subject: [PATCHv5 RFC 14/15] hwspinlock/core: return ERR_PTRs on failure in _request_ api
The various hwspin_lock_request* interfaces return a NULL pointer
on error, or a valid hwlock pointer on success. It is standard
practice to pass the error value back to the consumers on failure
cases, so change the functions to return an equivalent ERR_PTR()
value instead of NULL. The regular client api functions are
also modified to check for an invalid hwlock handle.
The consumers MUST check using IS_ERR() when requesting hwlocks
going forward to determine a valid hwlock.

"hwspinlock/core: add common OF helpers"
