I have a hard time remembering why these locks are in there in the first place. 
Not only has regmap its own locking, all the grf-registers handling iomux (and 
also the new schmitt triggers) are hiword-mask registers (meaning you enable 
bit x+16 to get write access to bit x), so there isn't locking needed to 
prevent concurrent register access in the first place.

I can only guess  this was meant as a safeguard for earlier socs (
- rk2928 - single-core Cortex-A9
- rk2918 Cortex-A8
- earlier ARM9) that hadn't these hiword-mask mechanisms yet.
I don't think we'll ever have support for those (they're old and nobody cares) 
but we can of course revisit this if at some point somebody is interested in 
affected socs.

Of course that is only true for the grf-based parts, not for the gpio 
registers.
