Sorry, here is the Changelog:

Changes in V9:
 - Fixup xchg16 compile warning
 - Keep ticket-lock the same semantic with qspinlock
 - Remove unused xchg32 and xchg64
 - Forbid arch_cmpxchg64 for 32-bit
 - Add openrisc qspinlock support

Changes in V8:
 - Coding convention ticket fixup
 - Move combo spinlock into riscv and simply asm-generic/spinlock.h
 - Fixup xchg16 with wrong return value
 - Add csky qspinlock
 - Add combo & qspinlock & ticket-lock comparison
 - Clean up unnecessary riscv acquire and release definitions
 - Enable ARCH_INLINE_READ*/WRITE*/SPIN* for riscv & csky

Changes in V7:
 - Add combo spinlock (ticket & queued) support
 - Rename ticket_spinlock.h
 - Remove unnecessary atomic_read in ticket_spin_value_unlocked

Changes in V6:
 - Fixup Clang compile problem Reported-by: kernel test robot
   <lkp at intel.com>
 - Cleanup asm-generic/spinlock.h
 - Remove changelog in patch main comment part, suggested by
   Conor.Dooley at microchip.com
 - Remove "default y if NUMA" in Kconfig

Changes in V5:
 - Update comment with RISC-V forward guarantee feature.
 - Back to V3 direction and optimize asm code.

Changes in V4:
 - Remove custom sub-word xchg implementation
 - Add ARCH_USE_QUEUED_SPINLOCKS_XCHG32 in locking/qspinlock

Changes in V3:
 - Coding convention by Peter Zijlstra's advices

Changes in V2:
 - Coding convention in cmpxchg.h
 - Re-implement short xchg
 - Remove char & cmpxchg implementations
