    pinctrl: move subsystem mutex to pinctrl_dev struct · 42fed7ba
    Patrice Chotard authored
    This mutex avoids deadlock in case of use of multiple pin
    controllers. Before this modification, by using a global
    mutex, deadlock appeared when, for example, a call to
    pinctrl_pins_show() locked the pinctrl_mutex, called the
    ops->pin_dbg_show of a particular pin controller. If this
    pin controller needs I2C access to retrieve configuration
    information and I2C driver is using pinctrl to drive its
    pins, a call to pinctrl_select_state() try to lock again
    pinctrl_mutex which leads to a deadlock.
    
    Notice that the mutex grab from the two direction functions
    was moved into pinctrl_gpio_direction().
    
    For several cases, we can't replace pinctrl_mutex by
    pctldev->mutex, because at this stage, pctldev is
    not accessible :
    	- pinctrl_get()/pinctrl_put()
    	- pinctrl_register_maps()
    
    So add respectively pinctrl_list_mutex and
    pinctrl_maps_mutex in order to protect
    pinctrl_list and pinctrl_maps list instead.
    
    Reintroduce pinctrldev_list_mutex in
    find_pinctrl_by_of_node(),
    pinctrl_find_and_add_gpio_range()
    pinctrl_request_gpio(), pinctrl_free_gpio(),
    pinctrl_gpio_direction(), pinctrl_devices_show(),
    pinctrl_register() and pinctrl_unregister() to
    protect pinctrldev_list.
    
    Changes v2->v3:
    - Fix a missing EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL() for pinctrl_select_state().
    
    Changes v1->v2:
    - pinctrl_select_state_locked() is removed, all lock mechanism
      is located inside pinctrl_select_state(). When parsing
      the state->setting list, take the per-pin-controller driver
      lock. (Patrice).
    - Introduce pinctrldev_list_mutex to protect pinctrldev_list
      in all functions which parse or modify pictrldev_list.
      (Patrice).
    - move find_pinctrl_by_of_node() from pinctrl/devicetree.c to
      pinctrl/core.c in order to protect pinctrldev_list.
      (Patrice).
    - Sink mutex:es into some functions and remove some _locked
      variants down to where the lists are actually accessed to
      make things simpler. (Linus)
    - Drop *all* mutexes completely from pinctrl_lookup_state()
      and pinctrl_select_state() - no relevant mutex was taken
      and it was unclear what this was protecting against. (Linus)
