Patch 1/4 of this patch series switches from direct readl/writel based register access to regmap based register access. Instead of using direct readl/writel, regmap API's are used to read, write & read-modify-write clk registers. Regmap API's already use their own spinlocks to serialize the register accesses across multiple cores in which case additional driver spinlocks becomes redundant. Hence, remove redundant spinlocks from driver in this patch 2/4.
