Sorry, I was under the impression the discussion with Bjorn is still open.

Like Bjorn, I'm not so sure too we want to bind a specific lock to the
RAW capability since this is not a lock-specific hardware detail.

As far as I can see, the hardware-specific differences (if any) are at
the vendor level and not at the lock level, therefore it might make
more sense to add the caps member to hwspinlock_device rather than to
the hwspinlock struct (Jeffrey commented about this too).

Thanks,
Ohad.
