From e467b6421435f467e274d4f25d62900e1e0e4286 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ohad Ben-Cohen Date: Mon, 5 Sep 2011 16:42:36 +0300 Subject: hwspinlock/core: simplify 'owner' handling Use struct device_driver's owner member instead of asking drivers to explicitly pass the owner again. This simplifies drivers and also save some memory, since there's no point now in maintaining a separate owner pointer per hwspinlock.
