With CONFIG_HWSPINLOCK=n the of_hwspin_lock_get_id() stub returns 0
unconditionally. In sprd_adi_probe() the guard
if (ret > 0 || (IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_HWSPINLOCK) && ret == 0))
is false for that 0, so it takes the else branch, where the switch has no
case for 0 and lands in
default:
return dev_err_probe(&pdev->dev, ret, "failed to find hwlock id\n");
dev_err_probe() returns its err argument unchanged, so probe logs
"failed to find hwlock id" and then returns 0, reporting success.
sprd_adi_hw_init(), the restart handler and devm_spi_register_controller()
are all skipped: the device binds but no SPI controller is ever
registered.
The hardware spinlock is optional for this controller and the -ENOENT arm
already covers "no hardware spinlock supplied". Treat the stub's 0 the
same way and continue without a lock; all four users of sadi->hwlock
already test it for NULL.
This is not reachable on production kernels. Kconfig has
depends on HWSPINLOCK || (COMPILE_TEST && !HWSPINLOCK)
so the affected configuration exists only under COMPILE_TEST, where no
real hardware is present.

Changes in v2:
- Add the fallthrough; Baolin Wang asked for [1], and carry his
Reviewed-by. The v1 case carried only a comment, so gcc's
-Wimplicit-fallthrough never fired and W=1 was clean either way; this
makes the intent explicit rather than fixing a warning.
- Trim two sentences of build-verification detail out of the changelog.
