It will be more helpful to use the timeout to try more times to get
the hwlock, and we usually do not use hwspin_trylock_xxx(), so we can
remove hwspin_trylock_xxx() support and set timeout as MAX value as
default to avoid adding 'hwlock_timeout' config,
is this OK for you?

Yes, will fix in next version.

You are right. I will more the hwspinlock.h to regmap.c file. Very
appreciated for your comments.
