I'm not sure I'm following your concern here: drivers still need to explicitly indicate RAW in order for this to kick in, so this lenient approach is not being imposed on them. Your original patch allowed every driver on all platforms to disable the sw spinlock mechanism. What I'm merely suggesting is that the underlying platform-specific driver should first allow this before it is being used, as some vendors prohibit this completely. Let's not make this more complicated than needed, so please add the hwcaps member to hwspinlock_device instead of to hwspinlock struct. We could always change this later if it proves to be insufficient.
