We have a use case in the at24 EEPROM driver (recently converted to using regmap instead of raw i2c/smbus calls) where we read from/write to the regmap in a loop, while protecting the entire loop with a mutex. Currently this implicitly makes us use two mutexes - one in the driver and one in regmap. While browsing the code for similar use cases I noticed a significant number of places where locking *seems* redundant. Allow users to completely disable any locking mechanisms in regmap config.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
