There are no other locking strategies here. I've worded it this way as
"nf->lock" is mainly intended to synchronize the enable requests and is
just by extension also used to synchronize this (i.e. the lock is on a
different abstraction layer). I agree that for clarity it makes sense to
directly specify "nf->lock", so I will re-write this to just say that
"nf->lock" must be held.

The registration/deregistration functions are all synchronized via
"nf->lock". I also don't consider that path critical. Event handling
(i.e. the actual critical path) is done via a RCU list (reasoning behind
that is mostly for touchpad input events).

It is, yes. Specifically: Older models don't have that, newer do.

Right. I'll have to look at the DSDTs to check in which generation
specifically that _DSM was introduced and add that as a comment.

The reason for this is that this function specifically is currently only
called during initialization, when the controller has not been published
yet, i.e. when we have an exclusive reference to the controller.

I'll change this to fully enforce locking (with lockdep_assert).

The WRITE_ONCE is only there to ensure that the basic test in
ssam_request_sync_submit() can be done. I always try to be explicit
about access that can happen without the respective locks being held.

Unfortunately it's not feasible to hold the reader lock in
ssam_request_sync_submit() due to reentrancy. Specifically, as the lock,
if at all (i.e. if this is not a client driver bound to the controller),
must be held not only during submission but until the request has been
completed. Note that if we would hold the lock during submission, this
is just a smoke-test.

It's possible to fully enforce this here, so I'll do that.

Similar to the above, this can be currently called outside of the lock
during initialization failure. I'll change that to fully enforce locking
too.

I'm sorry about the size of this. I've tried to split out as much as
possible (caching, tracing, error injection) but couldn't get it smaller
than this while also having something functional.

Please do review this at your own pace. There is no need to hurry.

Thank you for your review!
