[PATCH 2/7] fsl-dma: minimize locking overhead

From: "Ira W. Snyder" <iws at ovro.caltech.edu>

The use of spin_lock_irqsave() was a stronger locking mechanism than was
actually needed in many cases.

As the current code is written, spin_lock_bh() everywhere is sufficient.

The next patch in this series will add some code to hardware interrupt
context. This patch is intended to minimize the differences in the next
patch and make review easier.
