The call sequence suggested that misc_device /dev file can be opened
before misc device is yet to be registered, which is done only once.

Here punit_misc_dev_lock was used as common lock, to protect the
registration by multiple ISST HW drivers, one time setup, prevent
duplicate registry of misc device and prevent load/unload when device
is open.

We can split into locks:
- One which just prevent duplicate call to misc_register() and one
time setup. Also never call again if the misc_register() failed or
required one time setup is failed. This lock is not shared with
any misc device callbacks.

- The other lock protects registry, load and unload of HW drivers.

Sequence in isst_if_cdev_register()
- Register callbacks under punit_misc_dev_open_lock
- Call isst_misc_reg() which registers misc_device on the first
registry which is under punit_misc_dev_reg_lock, which is not
shared with callbacks.

Sequence in isst_if_cdev_unregister
Just opposite of isst_if_cdev_register
