[PATCH v2 1/3] mfd: syscon: Fix race in device_node_get_regmap()

["Rob Herring (Arm)" <robh@kernel.org>]

It is possible for multiple, simultaneous callers calling
device_node_get_regmap() with the same node to fail to find an entry in
the syscon_list. There is a period of time while the first caller is
calling of_syscon_register() that subsequent callers also fail to find
an entry in the syscon_list and then call of_syscon_register() a second
time.

Fix this by keeping the lock held until after of_syscon_register()
completes and adds the node to syscon_list. Convert the spinlock to a
mutex as many of the functions called in of_syscon_register() such as
kzalloc() and of_clk_get() may sleep.

Fixes: bdb0066df96e ("mfd: syscon: Decouple syscon interface from platform devices")
