dss_cache struct contains a spinlock used to protect the struct. A more

a small question: isn't it clearer to keep lock inside struct, so it would be easier to read code? Say, if we meet

spin_lock_irqsave(&dss_cache.lock, flags);

in code we already aware of what struct being actually protected, and in case of external lock it's not that obvious
