In order to allow multiple modules to operate MUTEX hardware through
a common interfrace, a flexible index "mtk_mutex_table_index" needs to
be added to replace original component ID so that like DDP and MDP
can add their own MUTEX table settings independently.

In addition, 4 generic interface "mtk_mutex_set_mod", "mtk_mutex_set_sof",
"mtk_mutex_clear_mod" and "mtk_mutex_clear_sof" have been added, which is
expected to replace the "mtk_mutex_add_comp" and "mtk_mutex_remove_comp"
pair originally dedicated to DDP in the future.

Can we change this to u64 instead?

Linux is still LP64, correct?

On 64-bit platforms, yes.

Note that this is about "long long", which is 64-bit on all Linux platforms.
But as the table seems to be used to store 2 32-bit values, it doesn't hurt
to be explicit and use "u64"? Or a struct with 2 "u32" values?


Exactly. I wanted this to be a hint of what's happening in the background,
without using unions to describe this.

Geert, thanks for immediately understanding my intention.

Cheers,
Angelo

Gr{oetje,eeting}s,
