It sounds like the decision "which lock to use" is a separate problem from "can it go raw". If the hardware doesn't prohibit raw mode, then every lock can be used in raw mode. So you just have to pick one and make sure both sides know which lock you use --- which is a classic multi-processor synchronization issue. > It's arbitrary right now.

Is the number hardcoded right now? and you're using hwspin_lock_request_specific on the Linux side to acquire the lock? -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-arm-msm" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
