I see other places using this hardware_enable_failed with atomic_inc(),
should here use atomic_dec() instead of straightly set to 0?
Though here is embraced by spin_lock, hardware_enable_nolock() can be
invoked in other places in parallel?

Fortunately in the end of this patch set, global hardware_enable_failed
is get rid of.
