int hwspin_lock_timeout_raw(struct hwspinlock *hwlock, unsigned int timeout);
Lock a previously-assigned hwspinlock with a timeout limit (specified in
msecs). If the hwspinlock is already taken, the function will busy loop
waiting for it to be released, but give up when the timeout elapses.
Caution: User must protect the routine of getting hardware lock with mutex
or spinlock to avoid dead-lock, that will let user can do some time-consuming
or sleepable operations under the hardware lock.

void hwspin_unlock_raw(struct hwspinlock *hwlock);
Unlock a previously-locked hwspinlock.
The caller should **never** unlock an hwspinlock which is already unlocked.
Doing so is considered a bug (there is no protection against this).
