[PATCH 1/2] spi: new SPI bus lock/unlock functions

From: Mike Frysinger
Date: Thu Sep 17 2009 - 18:03:36 EST


From: Yi Li <yi.li@xxxxxxxxxx>

For some MMC cards over SPI bus, it needs to lock the SPI bus for its own
use. The SPI transfer must not be interrupted by other SPI devices that
share the SPI bus with SPI MMC card.

This patch introduces 2 APIs for SPI bus locking operation.
