pwm: meson: Use the spin-lock only to protect register modifications
Holding the spin-lock for all of the code in meson_pwm_apply() can result in a "BUG: scheduling while atomic". This can happen because clk_get_rate() (which is called from meson_pwm_calc()) may sleep. Only hold the spin-lock when modifying registers to solve this. The reason why we need a spin-lock in the driver is because the REG_MISC_AB register is shared between the two channels provided by one PWM controller. The only functions where REG_MISC_AB is modified are meson_pwm_enable() and meson_pwm_disable() so the register reads/writes in there need to be protected by the spin-lock. The original code also used the spin-lock to protect the values in struct meson_pwm_channel. This could be necessary if two consumers can use the same PWM channel. However, PWM core doesn't allow this so we don't need to protect the values in struct meson_pwm_channel with a lock.
