The current implementation does not allow two different devices to use
a common hwspinlock. This patch set proposes to have, as an option, some
hwspinlocks shared between several users.

Below is an example that explain the need for this:
	exti: interrupt-controller@5000d000 {
		compatible = "st,stm32mp1-exti", "syscon";
		interrupt-controller;
		#interrupt-cells = <2>;
		reg = <0x5000d000 0x400>;
		hwlocks = <&hsem 1>;
	};
The two drivers (stm32mp1-exti and syscon) refer to the same hwlock.
With the current hwspinlock implementation, only the first driver succeeds
in requesting (hwspin_lock_request_specific) the hwlock. The second request
fails.


The proposed approach does not modify the API, but extends the DT 'hwlocks'
property with a second optional parameter (the first one identifies an
hwlock) that specifies whether an hwlock is requested for exclusive usage
(current behavior) or can be shared between several users.
Examples:
	hwlocks = <&hsem 8>;	Ref to hwlock #8 for exclusive usage
	hwlocks = <&hsem 8 0>;	Ref to hwlock #8 for exclusive (0) usage
	hwlocks = <&hsem 8 1>;	Ref to hwlock #8 for shared (1) usage

As a constraint, the #hwlock-cells value must be 1 or 2.
In the current implementation, this can have theorically any value but:
- all of the exisiting drivers use the same value : 1.
- the framework supports only one value : 1 (see implementation of
  of_hwspin_lock_simple_xlate())
Hence, it shall not be a problem to restrict this value to 1 or 2 since
it won't break any driver.

Changes since v1:
* Removed useless 'status = "okay"' from stm32mp157c.dtsi
