I think it'd be nice to add the 'baseid' property as we discussed for
dynamic allocation of hwspinlocks.

The patch that adds the hwspinlock groundwork for this is in
linux-next and will hopefully get into 3.2 if everything works out
well:

Of course, as we discussed with Arnd, we will use phandles to the
hwspinlock controller when we'll get to static allocations of
hwspinlock instances.

Thanks,
Ohad.
