Architectures are single-copy atomic, which means that simply reading
a register is an inherently atomic operation.  There is no need to
take a spinlock here.

Patch applied.

This makes me wonder how many more instances we have
of this kind of mistake in the kernel :/ I guess it is mostly
harmless but it sure makes for massive code complexity.

I would sure like e.g. drivers/gpio/gpio-mmio.c to avoid
taking locks on architectures where this is not a problem
given it is used on a plethora of architectures.

Yours,
