tcs->lock was introduced to serialize access with in TCS group. But
even without tcs->lock, drv->lock is serving the same purpose. So
use a single drv->lock.

Isn't the downside now that we're going to be serializing access to the
different TCSes when two are being written in parallel or waited on? I
thought that was the whole point of splitting the lock into a TCS lock
and a general "driver" lock that protects the global driver state vs.
the specific TCS state.

Yes but we were holding the drv->lock as well as tcs->lock for the most
critical of the path anyways (writing to TCS). The added complexity
doesn't seem to help reduce the latency that it expected to reduce.

Other optimizations include -
 - Remove locking around clear_bit() in IRQ handler. clear_bit() is
   atomic.
 - Remove redundant read of TCS registers.
 - Use spin_lock instead of _irq variants as the locks are not held
   in interrupt context.

Can you please split this patch up into 3 or 4 different patches? I'm
not sure why any of these patches are marked with Fixes either. It's an
optimization patch, not a fix patch, unless the optimization is really
large somehow?

Okay. I will try that.

This can be a diffedjusted rent patch. Why is reading the tcs register
redundant? Please put that information in the commit text.

The tcs_in_use, is adjusted along with the DRV_STS and reading the
tcs_in_use should be enough.

Thanks for your review Stephen.
