hwspinlock devices provide system-wide hardware locks that are used by remote processors that have no other way to achieve synchronization. To achieve that, each physical lock must have a system-wide id number that is agreed upon, otherwise remote processors can't possibly assume they're using the same hardware lock. Usually boards have a single hwspinlock device, which provides several hwspinlocks, and in this case, they can be trivially numbered 0 to (num-of-locks - 1). In case boards have several hwspinlocks devices, a different base id should be used for each hwspinlock device (they can't all use 0 as a starting id!). While this is certainly not common, it's just plain wrong to just silently use 0 as a base id whenever the hwspinlock driver is probed. This patch provides a hwspinlock_pdata structure, that boards can use to set a different base id for each of the hwspinlock devices they may have, and demonstrates how to use it with the omap hwspinlock driver. While we're at it, make sure the hwspinlock core prints an explicit error message in case an hwspinlock is registered with an id number that already exists; this will help users catch such base id issues.
