I didn't add the "ti," prefix exactly for the same reason - it is
generic w.r.t the hwspinlock core irrespective of the SoC family, and
there is nothing ti or OMAP specific about it. I have added it to keep
the DT node definition in sync with the driver code. If it is too
generic a name, it can always be renamed as hwlock_base_id. This will be
SoC agnostic property for the hwspinlock driver. What do you think?
