Given that we have no error handling path on the locks should we be
supporting timeout mode at all?  Otherwise we should probably add a
set of error handling paths whenever we take the lock...

This should be a switch statement.

We don't actually use hwspinlock.h in the header (the config options are
all just unsigned ints) so this could be moved to regmap.c with a
forward declaration of the struct in internal.h.  That way we don't
force a rebuild of every regmap user when hwspinlock changes.
