Hi Bjorn,

Not all locks use 1 to indicate its locked. For example lock index 7 is
used by cpuidle driver between HLOS and SCM. It uses a write value of
(128 + smp_processor_id()) to lock.

A cpu acquires the remote spin lock, and calls into SCM to terminate the
power down sequence while passing the state of the L2. The lock help
guarantee the last core to hold the spinlock to have the most up to date
value for the L2 flush flag.

+#define QCOM_MUTEX_NUM_LOCKS	32

Also, talking to Jeff it seems like that out of the 32 locks defined
only 8 is accessible from Linux. So its unnecessary and probably
incorrect to assume that there are 32 locks available.

Thanks,
Lina
