Ohad Ben-Cohen 315d8f5ccd hwspinlock/core: simplify Kconfig
Simplify hwspinlock's Kconfig by making the global CONFIG_HWSPINLOCK
entry invisible; users will just select it when needed.

This also prepares the ground for adding hwspinlock support for other
platforms (the 'depends on ARCH_OMAP4' was rather hideous, and while
we're at it, a dedicated menu is added).

Ohad Ben-Cohen 4fa8eebb04 hwspinlock: depend on OMAP4
Currently only OMAP4 supports hwspinlocks, so don't bother asking
anyone else.

Simon Que 70ba4cc26b drivers: hwspinlock: add OMAP implementation
Add hwspinlock support for the OMAP4 Hardware Spinlock device.

The Hardware Spinlock device on OMAP4 provides hardware assistance
for synchronization between the multiple processors in the system
(dual Cortex-A9, dual Cortex-M3 and a C64x+ DSP).

Ohad Ben-Cohen bd9a4c7df2 drivers: hwspinlock: add framework
Add a platform-independent hwspinlock framework.

Hardware spinlock devices are needed, e.g., in order to access data
that is shared between remote processors, that otherwise have no
alternative mechanism to accomplish synchronization and mutual exclusion
operations.
