net: renesas: rswitch: add locking for agent clock control
This commit introduces an agent_lock to serialize access to the shared RCEC
and RCDC agent clock registers. This aims to prevent potential race
conditions between ETHA and GWCA ports when enabling or disabling clocks.

[Severity: High]
Is this lock initialized anywhere before it is used?
It looks like agent_lock is added to the structure, but spin_lock_init() is
missing from the driver probe path. Depending on kzalloc for
zero-initialization is not valid for spinlocks and can cause issues on
architectures or kernel configurations that require explicit initialization.

[Severity: High]
Does this code cause an immediate deadlock?
Because spin_lock() is called twice consecutively without a spin_unlock(), it
appears the CPU will spin indefinitely waiting for the lock it already holds.
