Sure thing; still completely untested...

Subject: Change DEFINE_SEMAPHORE() to take a number argument
From: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Date: Wed, 29 Mar 2023 12:14:42 +0200

Fundamentally semaphores are a counted primitive, but
DEFINE_SEMAPHORE() does not expose this and explicitly creates a
binary semaphore.

Change DEFINE_SEMAPHORE() to take a number argument and use that in the
few places that open-coded it using __SEMAPHORE_INITIALIZER().
