If you have a SoC with 2 hwlock blocks; say 8+8 locks, used for interaction with e.g. a modem and a video core respectively. Why would you in either remote system offset the locks with 8? Wouldn't e.g the modem use locks hwlock0:0-7 and video core use locks hwlock1:0-7? What systems use more than one hwlock block and do you know of any reasons why these hwlocks are globally numbered?
