pinctrl: samsung: fix SMP race condition
Previously, samsung_gpio_drection_in/output function were not covered with a spinlock. For example, samsung_gpio_direction_output function consists of two functions. 1. samsung_gpio_set 2. samsung_gpio_set_direction When 2 CPUs try to control the same gpio pin heavily, (situation like i2c control with gpio emulation) This situation can cause below problem. CPU 0 | CPU1 | samsung_gpio_direction_output | samsung_gpio_set(pin A as 1) | samsung_gpio_direction_output | samsung_gpio_set(pin A as 0) samsung_gpio_set_direction | | samsung_gpio_set_direction The initial value of pin A will be set as 0 while we wanted to set pin A as 1. This patch modifies samsung_gpio_direction_in/output function to be done in one spinlock to fix race condition. Additionally, the new samsung_gpio_set_value was added to implement gpio set callback(samsung_gpio_set) with spinlock using this function.
