[PATCH net 1/3] net: dsa: qca8k: let regmap serialize register access

[Stanislaw Pal]

The regmap is created with .disable_locking, on the ground that the
qca8k read and write callbacks do their own locking. They only lock the
bus transaction, though. Since the driver moved to the regmap
read/write API, regmap formats the register and parses the value in the
map's shared work_buf, outside of the callbacks, so two concurrent
users can swap or corrupt each other's register and value.

Most register access runs under rtnl, but not all of it: phylink's
resolve work (mac_link_up/down) and the LED class callbacks do not, so
a link change can race with an ethtool or LED access and write the
wrong switch register or read back the wrong value.

Let regmap take its own lock. Every user of the map can already sleep,
on the MDIO bus or on the management frame round trip.
