[PATCH v3 10/14] reset: protect struct reset_control with its own mutex
From: Bartosz Golaszewski
Date: Fri Mar 06 2026 - 12:32:51 EST
Currently we use a single, global mutex - misleadingly names
reset_list_mutex - to protect the global list of reset devices,
per-controller list of reset control handles and also internal fields of
struct reset_control. Locking can be made a lot more fine-grained if we
use a separate mutex for serializing operations on the list AND
accessing the reset control handle.
