watchdog: dw_wdt: No need for a spinlock
Right now the dw_wdt uses a spinlock to protect dw_wdt_open(). The
problem is that while holding the spinlock we call:
-> dw_wdt_set_top()
-> dw_wdt_top_in_seconds()
-> clk_get_rate()
-> clk_prepare_lock()
-> mutex_lock()
Locking a mutex while holding a spinlock is not allowed and leads to
warnings like "BUG: spinlock wrong CPU on CPU#1", among other
problems.
There's no reason to use a spinlock. Only dw_wdt_open() was protected
and the test_and_set_bit() at the start of that function protects us
anyway.
