Any reason this needs to be a postcore_initcall?  Are there users of
hwspinlocks this early in boot?  Probaly subsys or even device_initcall
is more appropriate here.

I would've suspected that any users of hwspinlocks will be dependent on
drivers for the other cores (e.g. syslink) which would likely be
initialized much later.
