From c9b41fcf272b4926b373d21c2b83dfe374313780 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Bartosz Golaszewski Date: Wed, 6 Dec 2017 15:26:21 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] regmap: allow to disable all locking mechanisms We have a use case in the at24 EEPROM driver (recently converted to using regmap instead of raw i2c/smbus calls) where we read from/write to the regmap in a loop, while protecting the entire loop with a mutex. Currently this implicitly makes us use two mutexes - one in the driver and one in regmap. While browsing the code for similar use cases I noticed a significant number of places where locking *seems* redundant. Allow users to completely disable any locking mechanisms in regmap config.
