Hi,

Some IP blocks like RTC, needs an additional unlocking mechanism for writing to its registers. This patch adds optional lock and unlock function pointers to the IP block's hwmod data which gets executed before and after writing into IP sysconfig register.
And also hook lock and unlock functions to AMx3xx, DRA7 RTC hwmod data, so that sysconfig registers are updated properly.

It is also racy, as there is no locking in place to avoid concurrent access to the lock/unlock registers across hwmod+driver.

I don't see the race. Where is it?

See drivers/rtc/rtc-omap.c, am3352_rtc_unlock and am3352_rtc_lock.

That code is accessing the exact same registers.
