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.

help
Say y here to support the generic hardware spinlock framework.
You only need to enable this if you have hardware spinlock module
on your system (usually only relevant if your system has remote slave
coprocessors).
If unsure, say N.
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).

Say y here to support the OMAP Hardware Spinlock device (firstly
introduced in OMAP4).
If unsure, say N.
