Thanks for the suggestion. I did take a look at pinctrl and while it is
possible to implement something similar, I feel it is a bit heavy for
hwspinlock framework with no added advantages. It requires that the
controller and clients always need to be updated together. Ohad had
already brought this up [1]. Here's an alternate approach that does not
require any additional property to the controller itself, while the
client node usage is as before. The logic is based on parsing through
the DT blob and marking only those that are used by any clients. The RFC
patch below is a replacement for Patches 11 to 15, and do not require
any changes to platform implementations or additional DT properties.
It currently marks locks as reserved even for disabled client nodes
(very easy to change that behavior). It will also impose a standard
property name "hwlocks" on the client nodes. What do you think of this
approach?

Subject: [RFC PATCH] hwspinlock/core: add support for reserved locks
The HwSpinlock core allows requesting either a specific lock or an
available normal lock. The specific locks are usually reserved during
board init time, while the normal available locks are intended to be
assigned at runtime.
The HwSpinlock core has been enhanced to mark certain locks as 'reserved'
by parsing through the DT blob. Thes
The HwSpinlock core has been enhanced to:
1. mark certain locks as 'reserved' by parsing the DT blob for any
locks used by client nodes.
2. restrict the anonymous hwspin_lock_request() API to allocate only
from non-reserved locks for DT boots.
3. limit these reserved locks to be allocated only using the
_request_specific() API variants for DT boots.
