The spec mandates hwlock:

https://github.com/devicetree-org/devicetree-specification/blob/master/source/chapter2-devicetree-basics.rst#generic-names-recommendation

They probably introduced their nodes before it was standardized (or
didn't care).

If you're talking about sprd,hwspinlock-r3p0, it doesn't use any define
(and thus doesn't need any include), and it's a binding in a text format
that wouldn't compile the example (this is only done for yaml bindings).
Even if it was wrong for them to do so, they wouldn't notice.
