Add a managed token resource that can be created at device level
which can be used as a large grain lock by diverse group of drivers
such as the media drivers that share a resource.
Media devices often have hardware resources that are shared
across several functions. These devices appear as a group of
independent devices. Each device implements a function which
could be shared by one or more functions supported by the same
device. For example, tuner is shared by analog and digital TV
functions.
Media drivers that control a single media TV stick are a
diversified group. Analog and digital TV function drivers have
to coordinate access to their shared functions.
Some media devices provide multiple almost-independent functions.
USB and PCI core aids in allowing multiple drivers to handle these
almost-independent functions. In this model, a media device could
have snd-usb-audio driving the audio function.
As a result, snd-usb-audio driver has to coordinate with the media
driver analog and digital function drivers.
A shared managed resource framework at drivers/base level will
allow a media device to be controlled by drivers that don't
fall under drivers/media and share functions with other media
drivers.
Token resource manages a unique named string resource which is
derived from common bus_name, and hardware address fields from
the struct device.
Interfaces:
devm_token_create()
devm_token_destroy()
devm_token_lock()
devm_token_unlock()
Usage:
Create token: Call devm_token_create() with a token id string.
Lock token: Call devm_token_lock() to lock or try lock a token.
Unlock token: Call devm_token_unlock().
Destroy token: Call devm_token_destroy() to delete the token.

Just a small one:
I don't know the Samsung guidelines, but I would expect that the copyright is
with Samsung, not with you as well. You are the author, but you most likely
do not have the copyright, that's with Samsung.
