It is a way to see if locks were taken from linux or the arisc core without
touching the actual hwspinlock abi or the locks. So it is a nice way to debug
hwspinlocks, hence it is part of debugfs.

Uuuh, you're right, that wasn't very clever. I think I changed the name creation
to something simpler and and just missed most obvious one.

Yeah, will remove it.

Hmm, so there is a platform version of it, too. Will change it.

Also will update these.

This one is a really odd one I noticed right after I submitted the patch. I
added the & 0x03 after reading the datasheets again. But I think the datasheets
are not fully correct here. The datasheets say, 0-4 represent 0, 32, 64, 128 and
256 locks and at the same time say, bits 28/29 are used for this and bits 30/31
are reserved. But you can't represent 5 values with 2 bits. So I'm pretty sure
these reserved bits are also used for it, at least bit 30. I will change this to
something which is more clear. It's weird, the H3, H5 and H6 datasheet state
exactly the same issue.

You're right, I will update this.

I'm not very used to these devm_* functions yet, but will try to use these.

So did you mean to leave it out completely?

Thanks for looking through this, this really helps a lot. :-)
