(untested, as my LDP is useless because of OMAP regressions.)

wait_sem:
	mov	r0, #1
	ldr	r1, sdrc_scratchpad_sem
wait_loop:
	ldrex	r2, [r1]	@ load lock value
	teq	r2, r0		@ is lock free ( != 1)
	beq	wait_loop	@ no, try again
	strex	r2, r0, [r1]	@ try to lock
	teq	r2, #0		@ did store succeed?
	bne	wait_loop	@ no, try again
