Would you mind explaining the usage model here? It looks like you are
sharing a CRC hardware accelerator with a synchronous interface
between different users by using spinlocks? You are aware that this
will tie up the waiting CPUs completely during this time, right? So it
would be much better to use a mutex here. Or perhaps it would make
more sense to fall back to a s/w based CRC routine if the h/w is tied
up working for another task?

Using spinlocks for this is really not acceptable.
