Hey Tony and Russel ,
There is a FIX ME message in this function of the file stated in my
subject line.
I was wondering what locking is needed  here due to not having experience with
omap subsystem(s).
Cheers Nick

Looks like the locking for ocpi_enable would be needed if
it was called from multiple drivers. We are just enabling all
access, so no locking neeed for the current usage.
