I said the above when I hinted to use DEFINE_SPINLOCK(lock) instead of
static spinlock_t lock. And that requires to lookup what
DEFINE_SPINLOCK() actually does, which is a reasonable request.

How is the author of that code supposed to figure out what the merit
of s/mx5_pm_init/imx51_init_early/ is? By looking up your preferences
in google or what?

Using random quotes and failing to see why they don't apply is just
another proof of my assumption #1
