+SIRF Hardware spinlock device Binding
+-----------------------------------------------
+
+Required properties :
+- compatible : shall contain only one of the following:
+	"sirf,hwspinlock"
+
+- reg : the register address of hwspinlock
+
+- #hwlock-cells : hwlock users only use the hwlock id to represent a specific
+	hwlock, so the number of cells should be <1> here.
+
+Please look at the generic hwlock binding for usage information for consumers,
+"Documentation/devicetree/bindings/hwlock/hwlock.txt"
