Subject: [RFC PATCHv2 0/3] Support for HwSpinlock reserved locks

Hi Ohad,

This series is an RFC patchset that adds the support for reserved locks
to the HwSpinlock core to restrict the dynamic hwspin_lock_request() API
from allocating reserved locks (specific locks requested by DT client
users). The patches are split away from the v5 hwspinlock/omap dt
series [1] to not block the dt support patches. The series builds
on top of the refreshed hwspinlock core/omap dt series [2], and are
baselined on 3.17-rc3.

Following are the summary of changes:
- Patches 1 and 2 are equivalent patches of Patch 9 and 10
  from [1]. Only change is an update to hwspinlock.txt documentation.
- Patch 3 is an updated version of the reworked patch 12 [3] from v5.
  Changes include some additional function documentation, switch to
  internal of_xlate function and a fix for of_node reference maintainance.

The validation logs on all the applicable OMAP SoCs are at:

The above logs are generated with some additional test patches staged
