[PATCH 1/2] gpiolib: replace the GPIO device mutex with a read-write semaphore

From: Bartosz Golaszewski
Date: Thu Dec 21 2023 - 13:43:47 EST


From: Bartosz Golaszewski <bartosz.golaszewski@xxxxxxxxxx>

There are only two spots where we modify (add to or remove objects from)
the GPIO device list. Readers should be able to access it concurrently.
Replace the mutex with a read-write semaphore and adjust the locking
operations accordingly.
